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 8, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Wrexham's away form is none too clever either, with a marvellous return of five wins and one defeat from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the Red Dragons, and 4 goals against.

Blackpool see themselves just below half way in the Nationwide League Division Two, showing a record of 7 points from their 5 games played so far, Wrexham's total of 10 points from their 5 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Nationwide League Division Two.
