Recent respective form guides

Bristol City's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While Robins have scored 10, a worringly large 17 have been leaked at the other end.

Blackpool's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Seasiders have hit 7 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Bristol City find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 16 games have yielded only 11 points.

Blackpool see themselves just below half way in the npower Championship, showing a record of 22 points from their 16 games played so far,
