Blackpool form and stats

Blackpool have played 8 Championship games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-1-4 (wins-draws-losses).

Blackpool are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus West Bromwich Albion. Attacking player Hamilton outperformed all others in that fixture and was awarded a match rating of 7.31 out of 10. Hamilton hit one key pass.

In the game before, an away victory match versus Coventry City with a 2-1 scoreline.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Middlesbrough are coming to town in three days.

A decent goal production from Blackpool in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 8 league matches. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 12 goals have been conceded. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
