The League One season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Gillingham and Blackpool promises to be an interesting one.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the League One. That game was a home fixture for Blackpool, against Oxford United. But now it's all about beating Gillingham!

Blackpool form and stats

Only one away game so far for Blackpool and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 7 victories, 9 draws and 7 losses from 23 travels.

The supporters enjoyed Blackpool's previous game versus Oxford United, a League One 2-1 win played at home. A draw for Blackpool before that, at their own venue hosting Macclesfield Town (2-2).

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Blackpool manager S. Grayson as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Rochdale.

3 goals so far away for Blackpool, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 1 match.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Gillingham won 3, Blackpool won 3 and 4 draws. 6 games with over 2,5 goals, 4 matches with two goals or less.
