Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head:
Blackpool head into this fixture on a 4 game unbeaten run in all competitions, including taking 4 points from 6 in their last 2 league outings.
Following a 1-0 loss to Stockport County, Blackpool beat Nottingham Forest’s Under 21 side 2-1 in the Vertu Trophy with goals from Emil Hansson and Josh Bowler.
The Seasiders looked to be on course for victory at home to Wycombe Wanderers following an Ashley Fletcher goal right on half time. However, the visitors hit back in the 12th minute of injury time to rescue a point.
An own goal and a late Scott Banks strike were enough to secure all 3 points away at Peterborough United before securing their place in the FA Cup 2nd round last Saturday thanks to an Ashley Fletcher goal against National League side Scunthorpe United.
Blackpool are currently 23rd in League One with 12 points from 14 games, winning on just 3 occasions. The Tangerines have scored 13 goals so far this season at an average of 0.9 per game. Niall Ennis is the top scorer with 3, followed by Ashley Fletcher and CJ Hamilton on 2 each.
Defensively, Blackpool have conceded 1.6 goals per game and have kept just 1 clean sheet.
After an excellent start to the campaign, Cardiff City have found their fortunes mixed of late. The Bluebirds have lost 3 of their last 5 matches in all competitions and 2 of their last 5 League One matches.
Brian Barry-Murphy’s side exited the FA Cup at the first hurdle on Saturday, going down 1-0 to League One strugglers Peterborough United. That followed a promising victory over Welsh rivals Wrexham in the EFL Cup in midweek, running out 2-1 winners thanks to Yousef Salech and Will Fish.
In league action, Cardiff fell to defeat last time out at Bolton Wanderers having beaten Reading 2-1 the week before. Omari Kellyman pulled his side level before another Yousef Salech goal sealed the win.
The Welsh outfit edged a 7 goal thriller with Leyton Orient with a brace from Callum Robinson and strikes from Dylan Lawlor and Salech were enough to claim a 4-3 success.
Cardiff suffered their 2nd of 3 league defeats at home to Burton Albion 3 days after beating Wigan Athletic away from home thanks to Perry Ng and a 96th minute Yousef Salech penalty.
The Bluebirds have scored 21 goals this season at a league high average of 1.6 per match. Danish forward Yousef Salech leads the way on 5 goals, followed by Callum Robinson and Rubin Colwill who have 2 each.
City have been excellent defensively, conceded just 11 times at an average of 0.8 per match and have kept a league high 6 clean sheets.
The previous 5 meetings between these sides have produced 3 wins for Cardiff City and 2 draws.
During the 2022-23 season, these two were struggling at the bottom end of the Championship. Blackpool would be relegated and Cardiff City survive by the skin of their teeth.
Gary Madine rescued a point for Blackpool in the first meeting in Wales before Cardiff recorded a vital win on the Lancashire coast.
Connor Wickham, Sory Kaba and Joe Ralls were in target for the Bluebirds in a 3-1 win.
The highest scoring of those 5 meetings is a 3-2 victory for Cardiff way back in 2015.
Joe Mason’s opener and 2 Eoin Doyle strikes were enough for the Welsh side to claim maximum points.
Blackpool have scored 5 times in those 5 meetings to Cardiff’s 10 goals, giving each game an average of 3 goals.
