Recent respective form guides

Blackpool's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Seasiders have scored 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Norwich City's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. The Canaries's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 7.

Blackpool are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 39 points from 36 matches. Norwich City are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola Championship with a return of just 36 points from their 36 games thus far.
