Blackpool form and stats

5 victories, 6 draws and 8 defeats. That’s what Blackpool, who have the most conceded goals (61) in Championship, have to build on here at Bloomfield Road in the Championship. When Blackpool hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Rotherham United, Queens Park Rangers, Wigan Athletic, Hull City, Reading, Huddersfield Town and Blackpool), they have won 2 of 5 matches!

Blackpool faced defeat in their previous match, away at Preston North End (1-3). Yates has scored in three games in a row. First-class! Husband, defender, was given a rating of 7.33/10 in that game, top of the team. Husband hit five key passes and won 9 of 13 duels.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Coventry City (1-4).

The manager McCarthy will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Luton Town in only three days.

Blackpool are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 24 goals in 19 games. 26 goals have been conceded.

Cardiff City form and stats

There's been little loot from Cardiff City's travels as they have only collected 15 points from 18 away games in the Championship. Cardiff City only have 4 wins to counter their 11 defeats and 3 draws.

Home advantage was not enough for Cardiff City in their previous game as they lost hosting Swansea City, 2-3. Late heartbreak for Cardiff in the Swansea City match, as the deciding 2-3 goal came deep into overtime. The attacker Kaba got a match rating of 7.81 in that game. Kaba scored one goal, served one assist and hit one key pass.

A 0-0 draw at Rotherham United's stadium before that.

Low-scoring game? 15 of this team's most recent 17 league matches have contained two or less goals.

After this away game Cardiff City return home for a Championship game against Sunderland. That game is only three sleeps after this.

The attacking power of Cardiff City when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 18 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Cardiff have conceded 24 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Cardiff City have put together a sequence of 4 consecutive games without defeat (2-2-0) when playing Blackpool.

The most up to date reported match between these participants is the Cardiff City - Blackpool 1-1 played previously this season.
