Blackpool form and stats

Blackpool have only played one Championship game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 11 wins, 3 draws and 9 defeats from 23 matches.

The home regulars witnessed a 0-0 draw vs Barrow in the Carabao Cup last time out and are looking for a victory here. Fiorini (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.0/10. Fiorini hit five key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 38 successful passes (of 44 total).

A Championship defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Stoke City.

This is expected to be a close game, with Blackpool perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Blackpool as a small favourite), we find 12 games. Blackpool has won 8 of these, drawn 3 and lost 1.

There will be little rest for Blackpool after this match as they are travelling to Queens Park Rangers for a Championship game in only three days.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Blackpool at home in the league. 1 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Swansea City form and stats

The visitors settled for one point in their first Championship away game of the season. During their previous season 23 away games resulted in 7 wins, 5 draws and 11 defeats.

It's another away match for the visitors, as they travelled to Oxford United in their previous outing. The Carabao Cup fixture ended 2-2. Manning was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 8.14. The defender Manning hit one key pass and won 13 of 14 duels.

The game before that, in the Championship, was lost at home, a 0-3 defeat against Blackburn Rovers.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Swansea playing away and similar expectations, we found 15 relevant matches. Results were 4 Swansea City wins, 6 draws and 5 defeats.

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

1 goal so far away for Swansea City, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 1 league match away.

Head 2 Head

Blackpool have won or drawn the last 9 matches (5-4-0) facing Swansea City.
