Martins opened the scoring for Bristol before an extra time equalizer by Lavery ensured that the points were shared.

Wilson and Bola scored for either side as the spoils were shared.

Middlesbrough has only lost one of their last 6 matches and could be in a better position.

Both sides last met in the Championship in 2015 where Middlesbrough won 2-1. Woodgate and Kike’s scored the crucial goals.

Gibson’s own goal gave Blackpool a glimmer of hope but not much.

Line-ups:

Blackpool:

Grimshaw, Connolly, Casey, Husband, Garbutt, Bowler, Carey, Ward, Anderson, John-Jules and Lavery

Middlesbrough:

Daniels, Spence, Peltier, Fry, Bola, Morsy, McNair, Payero, Jones, Coburn and Ikpeazu

Prediction: Blackpool 1-2 Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough has a good pre-season and head into this contest with better form and performances

Blackpool’s erratic form will put themselves under pressure and Boro should take advantage of it.
