Form Guide & Team Overview
Blackpool
Blackpool have been in decent form, especially at home, where they’ve secured two 1-0 wins against Exeter City and Burton Albion. Their defence has been particularly impressive, keeping clean sheets in three of their last five matches. However, their recent away loss to Stevenage might have dented their confidence slightly, but returning to familiar turf should help them regain momentum.Blackpool have been in decent form, especially at home, where they’ve secured two 1-0 wins against Exeter City and Burton Albion.
