Blackpool FC Preview- Barnsley

Blackpool will host Barnsley at the weekend as they search for a place in the play-offs.

Last weekend the Tangerines beat already relegated Carlisle United 1-0 after Karamoko Dembele scored in an impressive 22 seconds after kick off.

Barnsley took on Portsmouth on Tuesday night which saw the Tykes lose 3-2 which crowned Pompey the Champions of League One.

The Tykes have only won one in their last five compared to Blackpool's one loss in five.

The Seasiders have faced the Yorkshire side twice this season, one in the league where the Pool won 1-0  and one in the Bristol Streets Motors Trophy which ended 2-1 to Blackpool.

On Tuesday night results went Blackpool’s way as Lincoln defeated Oxford and Portsmouth defeated Barnsley.

The Tangerines will be hoping that results go their way this weekend as Lincoln take on Cheltenham and Oxford take on Stevenage.
