Sunderland, Recent FormSunderland had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 0-0 draw against Preston North End. During that encounter they recorded 64% of the possession and had 15 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents managed to hit 4 of their 6 shots on goal.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 8 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 4 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. With just 2 clean sheets in the last 6 matches at home, Tony Mowbray will be worried about the defensive frailties within his team of late.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 home games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.
Ross Stewart will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Sunderland.
Blackpool, Recent FormBlackpool won't feel too deflated by the 1-0 home defeat to Norwich City, given that their opponents sit a full 14 places above them in the league table. They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Norwich City's tally of 22 efforts at goal, 8 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 5 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 10, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 4 of their last 6 matches on their travels. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Blackpool, Theo Corbeanu will be looking to add more goals against Sunderland in this match.
It was not a positive ending for Sunderland last time they met Blackpool in the league, with the game ending in a 0-1 defeat.
In their previous 4 encounters with The Seasiders, Sunderland have shipped at least one goal in those matches. In their last 2 league meetings with The Seasiders, Sunderland have not been on scoring form, not managing a single goal.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Blackpool has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Sunderland in 4 games.
Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Daniel Ballard (Broken foot), Leon Dajaku (Stomach) and Ross Stewart (Thigh) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Blackpool manager Michael Appleton has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Keshi Anderson (Medial Collateral Ligament), Jake Beesley (Ankle), Lewis Fiorini (Hamstring) and Kevin Stewart (Broken foot) are all currently out of contention for this game.
