Recent respective form guides
Blackpool's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Seasiders have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.
Barnsley's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Tykes have hit 6 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Blackpool see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola Championship, showing a record of 4 points from their 4 games played so far, Barnsley find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 3 points from their 4 matches.
