History of the Blackpool v Cardiff City fixture

Cardiff City face a trip to Blackpool at Bloomfield Road on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 22 out of 31 times.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in October 2008, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides

Blackpool have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. A generous 6 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Cardiff City's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Bluebirds have hit 5 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Blackpool's 1 points from 1 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th position. Cardiff City are leading the way in the Coca-Cola Championship, with their 1 games giving them a return of 3 points.
