Blackpool form and stats

9-6-3 (win-draw-lost) are the League One numbers at home for Blackpool so far this season. Blackpool has a nice streak going on as they have played 14 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Ipswich Town defeat 66 days ago. The Blackpool fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Bloomfield Road and will expect new points from this game. Blackpool has played 14 games in a row here without a defeat.

An away draw last time out for Blackpool, facing Lincoln City in a game that ended 2-2. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Gillingham in a game that was won 4-1.

Opportunity lost for Blackpool in the Lincoln City match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Blackpool matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, two draws and one defeat (from four games).

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Sunderland are coming to town in four days.

Blackpool are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 26 goals in 18 games. Blackpool have only conceded 17 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Accrington Stanley form and stats

Playing away, Accrington Stanley have won 7 games, drawn 4 and suffered 8 defeats in the League One this season.

The manager J. Coleman was unhappy after their last game, a League One match played at their home ground Wham Stadium. Accrington suffered a 1-5 loss to AFC Wimbledon (placed 20th). Preceding that game was the away victory against Oxford United with the score of 2-1.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against AFC Wimbledon was particularly ugly (1-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Accrington when being an outsider away as they are today, we find six matches with the visitors losing five times, drawing zero and winning one game.

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

Accrington are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 27 away goals from 19 games (in the league). Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Accrington have conceded 36 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
