Recent respective form guides
Brentford's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Bees have scored 7, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.
Blackpool's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Seasiders have hit 7 goals, 14 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Brentford are stuck down in the relegation zone of Nationwide League Division Two with a return of just 6 points from their 7 games thus far. Blackpool find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 7 points from their 6 matches.
