The EFL Championship makes its return at the weekend and will see Blackpool host Peterborough United at Bloomfield Road on Saturday.
Blackpool have lost form lately and are winless in their last seven games. They lost 1-0 to Derby County in a lackluster affair last weekend which saw both teams hit the target a combined four times.
Blackpool sit 17th in the Championship table with 27 points from 22 games. They are hardly in danger of relegation at the moment but will be looking to begin picking up results as soon as possible.
Peterborough United picked up a 2-1 comeback win over Millwall on home turf last weekend. The visitors took the lead in the first 20 minutes of the game. An own goal and a Jonson Clarke-Harris strike in the space of three minutes saw Peterborough United pick up all three points.
The visitors sit 22nd in the league, with just 19 points garnered so far. They will be looking to build on their latest result when they face Blackpool at the weekend.
