Blackpool, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Blackpool players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 away defeat at the hands of Cambridge United.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 5 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and when playing at home this season, they've notched up 6 clean sheets in 12 games.
They have had a good run of form at Bloomfield Road recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.
When it comes to home matches at Bloomfield Road, Jordan Rhodes will be feeling confident about finding the net again, with 6 league goals for Blackpool in their last 6 home games.
Bristol Rovers, Recent FormBristol Rovers will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-1 away win against Bolton Wanderers.
Manager Matt Taylor will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 6 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games; however, overall they've scored in 18 of their 20 games this season.
With 3 matches lost and only 2 wins in their last 6 away matches lately, this has not been a great spell for the team away from home.
On an individual basis, Chris Martin will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Bristol Rovers' last 6 league games.
Not many saw the outcome of the last meeting between these sides as a surprise, with Blackpool running out winners in a match that ended 1-0.
Blackpool have managed to keep a clean sheet against The Pirates in each of their previous 2 meetings at Bloomfield Road. In each of the previous 4 matches against Blackpool, The Pirates have let in at least one goal.
Bristol has a poor track record in the league when they visit Blackpool, losing in their last 2 games.
With no real injury worries, Blackpool manager Neil Critchley will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Bristol manager Matt Taylor has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
