Recent respective form guides

Blackpool's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Seasiders have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Wolves's away form is none too clever either, with a marvellous return of five wins and one defeat from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 11 goals for the Wolves, and 2 goals against.

Blackpool find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 30 points from their 25 matches. Wolves are leading the way in the Coca-Cola Championship, with their 25 games giving them a return of 57 points.
