History of the Blackpool v Plymouth Argyle fixture

Plymouth Arg. face a trip to Blackpool at Bloomfield Road on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 20 games played, Pilgrims have recorded 3 wins, and Blackpool have come away with 7 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in October 2007, when they played out a goalless draw in a Championship match.

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 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Plymouth Arg.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Pilgrims have conceded 5 goals in these games, and only hit 2 in reply.

Blackpool find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 47 points from their 40 matches. Plymouth Arg. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 43 points from 40 matches.
