Blackpool will host Queens Park Rangers at Bloomfield Road on Tuesday in another round of EFL Championship football.
The home side have endured a rather torrid season and are now staring down the relegation barrel. They were beaten 2-0 by Bristol City last time out and could have no complaints after a rather lackluster display in front of goal.
Blackpool have picked up just 32 points from 36 games this season and currently sit 22nd in the league table. They will be determined to shake off their latest results and begin picking up important points when they play this week.
QPR have endured an abysmal run of results since the departure of manager Michael Beale and now find themselves in the bottom half of the table. New boss Gareth Ainsworth had a sluggish start to the job but guided the Hoops to their first win of the year on Saturday as they beat struggling Watford 1-0 away from home.

Blackpool vs Queens Park Rangers Prediction
Blackpool have lost three of their last four games and have won just one of their last 11 games across all competitions. They are, however, unbeaten in their last six games on home turf and will hope to maximize their home advantage this week.
The Hoops' latest result ended a five-game losing streak and they will now be looking to build on that on Tuesday. They have, however, struggled to impress on the road of late and could see defeat here.
