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 7, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Bolton Wanderers's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the The Trotters have hit 5 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Blackpool are stuck down in the relegation zone of Barclays Premier League with a return of just 36 points from their 36 games thus far.
