Blackpool form and stats

Overall League One stats at home this season for Blackpool are 7-4-3 (wins-draw-losses). 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 ten games in a row here without a defeat.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Blackpool, as their goalkeeper Christopher Maxwell has completely shut out the opponents for 180 minutes in the League One.

The spoils were shared in Blackpool's previous game, also at home. Visiting Fleetwood Town (placed 14th) travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline. A strong away win before that one, visiting Milton Keynes Dons and winning 1-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Blackpool have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found twelve games) they have won four times, drawn two and lost six.

The manager N. Critchley will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Oxford United in only four days.

The Blackpool fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 14 matches. From these home matches, Blackpool have conceded only 12 goals.

Burton Albion form and stats

6-5-6 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Burton Albion in their League One matches away. Impressively, the visitors are on a six-match winning run which they hope continue versus Blackpool. A great winning streak in away games for Burton as they have managed to win six matches in a row as the visitors. Not since the Lincoln City have they travelled home without three points.

The Burton goalkeeper Ben Garratt is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 180 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

It's the second away game in a row for Burton Albion, but there's smiles all around after the 3-0 victory versus Crewe Alexandra (placed 13th) in the League One last time out. Preceding that game was the away victory against AFC Wimbledon with the score of 1-0.

It was a convincing performance from Burton when Crewe Alexandra were beaten. The team "killed" the match in the first half leading 3-0 and the second half was comfortable. Kane Hemmings (3) scored their goals. Kane Hemmings certainly enjoyed Burton's last game versus Crewe Alexandra, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 3-0 victory.

Burton are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, one draw and six defeats. From a total of nine matches.

A quick return to home after this game, as Burton are hosting Milton Keynes Dons in the League One only four days away.

Burton are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 22 away goals from 17 games (in the league). Burton have conceded 24 goals in these away matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

Burton Albion - Blackpool 1-2 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last six meetings): Blackpool won two games, one match ended with a draw and Burton Albion has three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / two
