Tangerines Look to Break Draw Streak Against High-Scoring Posh
Blackpool welcomes Peterborough United to the seaside for a Tuesday night League One showdown that promises plenty of action. The Tangerines have been the draw specialists lately, with six stalemates in their last ten matches. That's a lot of sharing the points, isn't it?
Steve Bruce's men have found goals relatively easy to come by, netting 18 times in their last ten outings, but turning those goals into wins has proven trickier. Their home form has been particularly frustrating for fans, with just one win in their last five matches at their own ground, despite scoring ten goals.
On the road, though, it's been a different story. Blackpool showed their attacking prowess with impressive away victories against Lincoln City and Exeter in January, scoring five goals across those two matches. Can they bring that away form back home?
Peterborough's Goalscoring Form Makes for Entertaining Contest
Peterborough United arrive in town with some serious momentum. Darren Ferguson's side has won five of their last nine matches, including a wild 6-4 victory over Wrexham in the Football League Trophy that showcased both their attacking flair and defensive frailties.
The Posh have been finding the net regularly, matching Blackpool with 18 goals in their recent matches. But there's a catch. They've conceded exactly the same number, making them one of the most entertaining teams to watch in League One right now.
Their away form has been a bit hit-and-miss, with two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six road trips. That said, they've managed to score 11 times during those travels, proving they're always a threat going forward.
History Favors the Home Side Despite Recent Setback
The history books make interesting reading for this fixture. Blackpool holds the historical edge with 11 wins to Peterborough's 8 in their previous meetings, with just 2 draws.
However, the most recent encounter will still be fresh in the memory for both sets of fans. Peterborough handed Blackpool a humbling 5-1 defeat when they met back in October at Peterborough's ground. Talk about a statement win!
That scoreline represents something of an outlier in the context of their historical meetings. The total goal count stands at 34 for Blackpool and 39 for Peterborough across all their previous clashes, suggesting typically closer contests than their last encounter would indicate.
Mid-Week Opportunity for Both Teams
Tuesday night under the lights. Don't you just love mid-week football? With the bookmakers slightly favoring Blackpool with a 48.4% chance of victory compared to Peterborough's 26.2%, the home side will be looking to capitalize on their advantage.
Both managers have points to prove. Steve Bruce will be desperate to turn his team's drawing habit into winning ways, while Darren Ferguson will be eager to show that their October thrashing of Blackpool wasn't just a one-off.
With both teams having scored exactly 18 goals in their recent matches, goals seem likely. Blackpool's slightly sturdier defense (conceding 13 compared to Peterborough's 18) might prove the difference if they can maintain their discipline at the back.
This League One clash has all the ingredients for an entertaining evening of football. Recent form suggests goals, the history between the teams adds spice, and the mid-week setting often produces something special.
