Blackpool go into the weekend's match on the back of two consecutive away defeats that has seen them drop from seventh, and two points outside the Play Offs, to ninth and five points away.
Their away form this season has been their achilles' heel having won just three on their travels so far, drawn seven and lost nine.
But at home they are a completely different prospect. At Bloomfield Road they have lost just four this season, drawn four and won the other ten games, which is a record only bettered by the top three sides in the division.
