Blackpool form and stats

3-1-2 (win-draw-lost) are the League One numbers at home for Blackpool so far this season.

In their previous game, the manager S. Grayson led his Blackpool to a defeat in the EFL Trophy match away at Carlisle United. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Bloomfield Road. Ahead of that match, Blackpool lost 1-2 at home to Rotherham United.

A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Carlisle United) as a comfortable lead 1-0 was completely ruined into a loss 1-2.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Blackpool as they are travelling to their away game against Burton Albion in the League One. That match is four days after this one.
