Blackpool look to Bloomfield Road supporters for inspiration before Peterborough United match

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Blackpool form and stats

Blackpool, who have the fewest scored goals (7) at home in Championship, have played 11 Championship games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-2-5 (wins-draws-losses). When Blackpool hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Cardiff City, Hull City, Barnsley, Reading, Derby County, Bristol City and Blackpool), they have won 1 of 2 matches! Blackpool has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Critchley and the players.

Stress levels are on the rise for Blackpool's attacking players as they have now played 364 minutes without scoring in a league game. Anderson was their last goal scorer.

The fans are hoping that Blackpool will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Championship game against Derby County (placed 24th). Reece James was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.21 out of 10. The defender James hit one key pass and won 6 of 8 duels.

Preceding that match was the home game against Luton Town that was lost 0-3.

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 eight games) they have won four times, drawn two and lost two.

Blackpool aren't scoring a lot here at Bloomfield Road in the league, with only 7 goals from 11 games. On the other hand, Blackpool have conceded 12 goals. Blackpool has at home met teams with this table position (low), two times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 2 times.

Peterborough United form and stats

There's been little loot from Peterborough United's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 11 away games in the Championship. Peterborough United only have 1 win to counter their 10 defeats and 0 draws. It's all red in the travel logs of Peterborough, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.

Clarke-Harris scored in Peterborough United's previous match, the home game against Millwall that ended 2-1. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Ferguson when Clarke-Harris scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 56th minute. Joseph Tomlinson was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.8. The defender Tomlinson hit three key passes and won 1 of 4 duels.

Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Nottingham Forest's place.

Peterborough United are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, zero draws and five defeats. From a total of six matches.

Peterborough are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 5 goals from 11 away games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Peterborough's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 30 goals in 11 travels. When Peterborough United is visiting a side on the bottom half, 2 of 2 matches have ended with three or more goals. These are matches against Cardiff City, Hull City, Barnsley, Reading, Derby County, Bristol City and Peterborough United.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Blackpool five wins, two draws and Peterborough United three victories. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.
