Birmingham City form and stats

The total Championship results at home this season for Birmingham City are 7-6-8 (wins-draws-losses).

Birmingham enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Millwall's place. The match ended 1-0 with Jutkiewicz scoring. Finally, a league victory after three matches without one. The goalie Etheridge was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 7.82 out of ten. Etheridge topped it up with a clean sheet.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Sunderland (1-2).

Blackpool form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Blackpool so far with only 14 points returning home. The records show 3-5-13 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in twelve away games in a row.

Blackpool might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. West Bromwich Albion proved too strong as Blackpool slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Bloomfield Road. Thorniley was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.41. The defender Thorniley hit two key passes and won 5 of 7 duels.

A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Wigan Athletic.

Blackpool are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 5 wins, 5 draws and 12 defeats. From a total of 22 matches.

The attacking power of Blackpool when travelling is not overwhelming with 18 goals scored from 21 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Blackpool have conceded 38 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

The duelists have fought earlier this season: Blackpool - Birmingham 0-0. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's three Birmingham City victories, five draws and two Blackpool wins. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, seven matches with two goals or less.
