Recent respective form guides
Blackpool's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Seasiders have scored 9, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.
Aston Villa's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. While the Villans have hit 10 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Blackpool find themselves struggling down in 15th position in the league having picked up 28 points from their 25 matches. Aston Villa find themselves struggling down in 14th position in the league having picked up 29 points from their 26 matches.
