Recent respective form guides

Blackpool will be hoping to improve on their poor home form, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While Seasiders have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Chesterfield's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Spireites have hit 9 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Blackpool are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 5 points from their 7 games thus far. Chesterfield's 10 points from 7 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
