Cardiff City, Recent FormLast time out for Cardiff City resulted in a perhaps unsurprising 2-2 draw against Stoke City in a match they really wanted to win. During that encounter they had 56% possession and had 8 attempts on goal with 5 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 11 shots on goal.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 7 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 8 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. Mark Hudson will have some concerns about his team's back line after only making 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home matches.
A recent poor run of home form for The Bluebirds in the league has seen them lose 3 games in a row at Cardiff City Stadium.
Blackpool, Recent FormA 0-0 draw against Birmingham City will be viewed as a positive outcome for Blackpool and a valuable point into the bargain. Their share of possession in that meeting was 58%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 0 of which were on target. Birmingham City had 10 shots on goal with 1 on target.
Having conceded 8 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 4 points. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 league games. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
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.
Jerry Yates will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Blackpool.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 1-1 draw.
The Seasiders defence has struggled at Cardiff City Stadium, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 11 visits.
Blackpool have failed to manage a victory in their last 3 encounters in the league against Cardiff.
With only Isaak Davies (Knee) and Jaden Philogene-Bidace (Hernia) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Mark Hudson will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Michael Appleton has a number of injury concerns in his Blackpool squad to contend with: Keshi Anderson (Hamstring), Jordan Lawrence-Gabriel (Knee), Kevin Stewart (Broken foot) and Jordan Thorniley (Concussion)
