Championship: Blackpool are 19 points after Coventry City, but fully intend to go full throttle. Let's go!
- Coventry City have the most clean sheets (17) in Championship
It's no vacation for neither Blackpool nor Coventry City as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Blackpool form and stats
Blackpool have played 18 Championship games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-6-7 (wins-draws-losses).
A nice win for Blackpool last time playing, versus Queens Park Rangers. That was also a home game and the match ended 6-1 with Thorniley, Nelson, Yates, Dougall and Lyons (2) scoring for the victors. Sweet to taste a league victory after four games without one. As indicated by the result mentioned above, Blackpool played a great game against Queens Park Rangers and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one. Midfielder Patino was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.71 (out of ten) in that game. Patino signed up for two assists and hit two key passes.
Prior to that, an away loss at Bristol City.Blackpool has scored 23 league goals at home this season, in 18 matches. Blackpool have conceded 22 in these home matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Hull City.Lacking goals? 8 of this team's most recent 10 league fixtures have had two goals or less.
