Recent respective form guides
Blackpool need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Seasiders have scored 7, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Barnsley's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The Tykes's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.
Blackpool's 6 points from 3 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position. Barnsley are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 7 points from 3 games.
