Blackpool form and stats

Last season, Blackpool's FA Cup journey ended in the 3rd round.

Blackpool have played 12 League One games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-2-4 (wins-draws-losses). This match is a FA Cup match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 2 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses in this competition. Blackpool are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Bloomfield Road, having lost their two previous games here.

The home team returns to Bloomfield Road after being equal after 90 minutes with Reading on their last time out; the FA Cup game ended 2-2. Prior to that, an away loss at Rotherham United in the League One.

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 ten games. Blackpool has won 5 of these, drawn 3 and lost 2.

There will be little rest for Blackpool after this match as they are travelling to Lincoln City for a League One game in only four days.

The Blackpool fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 18 goals in 12 league matches. 15 goals have been conceded.

Reading form and stats

Reading's mission in FA Cup last season failed in the 3rd round.

The visitors are W4-D5-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Championship. Reading has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

Reading's last game was the home draw against Nottingham Forest (1-1). Ahead of that game was the 2-2 draw at home against Blackpool in the FA Cup.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Reading playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were 1 Reading win, 1 draw and 1 defeat.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Championship trip to Millwall.

Reading are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 15 away goals from 13 games (in the league). Reading are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 12 times in 13 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
