After three games we know a little more about the qualities of Blackpool and Lincoln City in this fresh League One season. Read our match preview!

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

L W L D L

Blackpool form and stats

The hosts won their first League One game here at Bloomfield Road, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Blackpool last season were 9 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses from 17 games.

The fans are hoping that Blackpool will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the League One game against Gillingham (placed 7th). Before that, Blackpool had a home game versus Swindon Town which ended with a victory 2-0.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Blackpool as they are travelling to their away game against Accrington Stanley in the EFL Trophy. That match is three days after this one.

Early season league goal statistics from Blackpool's 1 home game: 2 goals, 0 conceded.

L W W W D

Lincoln City form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the League One, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 2 wins, 3 draws and 13 defeats from 18 matches.

The manager M. Appleton was unhappy after their last game, a Carabao Cup match played at their home ground Sincil Bank Stadium. Lincoln suffered a 2-7 loss to Liverpool. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Milton Keynes Dons.

Lincoln lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 2-7 beating and focus on this one.

2 goals so far away for Lincoln City, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 1 league match away.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last two meetings): Blackpool won one game, zero matches ended with a draw and Lincoln City has one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: one / one
