Blackpool form and stats

Blackpool have collected 26 points from their League One home games so far after 7-5-3. In general it's been a long time since Blackpool tasted defeat here at Bloomfield Road, as they have taken at least one point from their last eleven home games in the league.

Blackpool are returning here after visiting Oxford United in a League One game and winning with a 2-0 scoreline. Kenneth Dougall and Daniel Ballard scored the goal(s). Before that, Blackpool drew at home versus Burton Albion.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Blackpool as they have a new game in only four days, a League One match thankfully also at home. Plymouth Argyle are visiting.

Blackpool are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 15 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Blackpool have only conceded 13 from their league home games.

Peterborough United form and stats

As the visiting team in League One matches, Peterborough United have produced an overall stat of 7-4-7 so far.

Peterborough are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 3-3 draw at Rochdale (placed 24th). That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Portsmouth.

Drawing 3-3 against Rochdale after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager D. Ferguson needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Peterborough, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Accrington Stanley in just four days.

Peterborough have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 18 league away games 21 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Peterborough have seen the ball go into their own net 20 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Blackpool and Peterborough United have met before this season: Peterborough United - Blackpool 1-2. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Blackpool won five games, two matches ended with a draw and Peterborough United has three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / five
