Blackpool, Recent FormIn their previous league fixture, Blackpool managed a remarkable 6-1 home win against Queens Park Rangers. During that encounter they had 38% possession and had 16 attempts on goal with 8 on target, while their opponents hit 2 of their 8 shots on goal.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 8 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 7 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Boss Mick McCarthy will not be pleased that his side has found keeping a clean sheet a challenging task at home this season, having conceded goals in 13 of their 18 matches.
They have been performing well at Bloomfield Road recently and are unbeaten in their last 6 home games.
Coventry City, Recent FormCoventry City manager Mark Robins will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Wigan Athletic. They came away from that fixture with a 52% share of the possession and clocked up 17 attempts on goal with 7 on target, in comparison to Wigan Athletic, who managed 10 attempts on goal, 5 of which were on target.
Robins will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 3 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 10 goals. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. With 3 clean sheets in their last 6 away league matches, they have shown themselves to be a tough nut to crack away from home.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 8 games in a row.
Viktor Gyökeres 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 Coventry City.
It ended in disappointment and a 1-2 defeat for Coventry City last time they met Blackpool in the league, with The Seasiders defying the odds to take the win.
The stats show that in the last 4 meetings between Blackpool and their rivals, The Sky Blues, the former have conceded at least one goal. Playing at home, Blackpool have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Coventry.
Blackpool manager Mick McCarthy has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Liam Bridcutt (Leg), Marvin Ekpiteta (Hamstring), Charlie Goode (Hamstring), Shayne Lavery (Hamstring), Gary Madine (Knee), Kevin Stewart (Broken foot) and Tom Trybull (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Mark Robins has a number of injury concerns in his Coventry squad to contend with: Jamie Allen (Calf), Liam Kelly (Leg), Callum O'Hare (Cruciate ligament), Kasey Palmer (Hamstring) and Fabio Tavares (Achilles tendon)
