Friday football tips: League One playoff semi-final in the spotlight

The second leg of Blackpool's League One playoff semi-final with Oxford United is the headline fixture on Friday at Bloomfield Road.

In La Liga, Levante lock horns with Cadiz at the start of a crucial final weekend of the season and there is also plenty of action to analyse from the League of Ireland.

Blackpool ended the League One season strongly with four successive wins and can complete a playoff double over Oxford.
