Match begins: 15:00 (UTC)
Venue: Cherry Red Records Fans' Stadium (4850 seats)

An important duel in the bottom section of the League One, with both AFC Wimbledon and Blackpool experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 20th and the visitors in 16th place.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a League One match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Oxford United, so at least AFC Wimbledon are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Blackpool form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Blackpool so far with only 14 points returning home. The records show 2-8-6 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in eleven away games in a row.

Two away games in a row for Blackpool, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 versus Bristol Rovers in the League One. The game before that, was lost at home, a 2-3 defeat against Gillingham.

A new game in only three days for Blackpool, the League One home match versus Bolton Wanderers. Busy days.

Blackpool find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 17 goals from 16 away fixtures in the league. As opposed to that, Blackpool have seen the ball go into their own net 20 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Blackpool - AFC Wimbledon 2-0 earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last five meetings): AFC Wimbledon won one game, one match ended with a draw and Blackpool has three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: zero / five
