What Blackpool’s first halves look like
The back line is a different proposition on the road: 60.9% of away matches bring an early goal against Blackpool, next to 43.5% at home. Blackpool are close to two different sides either side of the coach door: a first-half goal of their own in 45.7% of home matches, 30.4% of away ones, 15.3pp between them.
Early scoring in Blackpool’s matches tends to happen at the wrong end. They let one in before the break in 52.2% of matches and find the net in 38.0%, 14.2pp apart. The first goal is usually the last one before the break: a second follows only 34% of the time against 46% division-wide.
Only 3 published England Championship clubs beat Blackpool for the share of their first halves that produce a goal. Getting two before the break is a stretch in this fixture: 25.0% against 31.5% across the division.
Every figure on this page rests on 92 completed Blackpool matches over 2 seasons (2021 to 2023). At that size a single percentage point is about one match, so read each rate as a range rather than a figure.

How to read these numbers
- These are historical rates over pooled seasons, not a forecast. A club that has changed manager, division or squad reads as the average of every version of itself on record.
- The opponent matters as much as the club. A high-scoring side against a defense that rarely concedes early is a different fixture from the same side against one that does.
