This game involves two participants residing in the lower parts of the Championship, Blackpool at 19th position and Hull City sitting at 21st. A good opportunity for one of the teams to upgrade their position.
- Blackpool haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
- Hull City have the most conceded goals (28) in Championship
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Blackpool and Hull City.
Blackpool form and stats
The complete Championship results playing at home this season for Blackpool are 2-1-3 (wins-draws-losses).
The Blackpool manager Appleton and his side return home after a 3-3 draw away versus Sheffield United (placed 2nd). Blackpool salvaged the draw from a difficult situation against Sheffield United, trailing 0-2 at one point. Not giving up resulted in Dougall equalizing. The Blackpool goalkeeper Maxwell was crucial in the match against Sheffield United last time out, making six saves. Midfield player Yates got a match rating of 8.03 in that game, the max score being 10. Yates scored two goals and hit two key passes.
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Watford in a game that was won 3-1.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Blackpool have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 9 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 1 and lost 2.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Blackpool, as the Championship home game vs Preston North End is only three days away.
The Blackpool fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 6 matches. Blackpool's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 7 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Hull City form and stats
Hull City have only collected 2 points from their away games in the Championship, after 0-2-4 (6 played). Bitter travels for Hull City as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Burnley match.
Hull City aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 205 league minutes without a goal. Estupinan was the last player to find the net.
Hull City failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Birmingham City (placed 12th) that ended with defeat 0-2. The attacker Pelkas got a match rating of 7.12 in that game. Pelkas hit four key passes.
A 0-2 defeat away at Huddersfield Town before that.Hull are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 2 draws and 5 defeats. From a total of 8 matches.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Hull City manager Arveladze as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Rotherham United.
The attacking power of Hull City when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 6 league matches away. The Hull City manager Arveladze has some worries about the defense as 14 goals have been conceded in these travels.
