Blackpool form and stats

Blackpool have only collected 14 points from their away games in the Championship, after 3-5-7 (15 played). Blackpool has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

There were no winners in Blackpool's previous match, the home game that ended 0-0 vs Rotherham United (placed 20th). Connolly, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.63. Connolly won 8 of 14 duels.

Preceding that match was the 2-2 draw at home vs Huddersfield Town.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Blackpool playing away, we found 5 games. Results were 0 away wins, 3 draws and 2 home wins.

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

The attacking power of Blackpool when travelling is not overwhelming with 14 goals scored from 15 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Blackpool struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 24 goals conceded from these games.
