Blackburn Rovers, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 home win over Swansea City in their last league game, Blackburn Rovers will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They came away from that fixture with 50% of the possession and clocked up 7 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Swansea City managed 10 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Jon Dahl Tomasson will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 7 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They are showing great consistency at Ewood Park in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 home games. When playing at home this season, Blackburn Rovers has notched up a tally of 8 clean sheets, highlighting the struggle some of their opponents have had to break through on goal.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.
Blackpool, Recent FormBlackpool will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 1-0 win in their home outing against Stoke City. Their share of possession in that meeting was 31%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target. Stoke City had 25 shots on goal with 6 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 4, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 9 goals and some valuable points in the process. 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.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
Gary Madine will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Blackburn Rovers in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Blackpool.
There was no upset on the cards last time these two sides met; on that occasion, Blackburn Rovers produced a comfortable 0-1 victory.
Blackburn will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against The Seasiders, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 10 meetings between the two.
In the league, Blackburn has had a good run at home against Blackpool, being unbeaten in their last 6 meetings at Ewood Park.
