Blackpool will be looking to win the game

Blackpool host West Brom at Bloomfield Road in the EFL Championship on Tuesday, with both sides having similar runs of form.

Blackpool are currently 10th in the table, six points behind their opponents. Neil Critchley's side have faltered of late and have failed to win any of their last three games. They will hope to turn things around with a win against West Brom in midweek.

West Brom have also not had the best of results of late. Valerian Ismael's side have only managed two wins from their last five games and will be going into the encounter off the back of a 1-0 loss against Huddersfield last time out. They will look to bounce back with a win against Blackpool this week.

Both sides will want to get back on track with a win and that should make Tuesday's fixture an exciting matchup.


Blackpool vs West Brom Head-to-Head

The two sides played against each other in a Premier League game back in 2011. West Brom came away as 3-2 winners on the night.

Their most recent meeting, however, was in the FA Cup last season. Blackpool won the game on penalties after the score ended 2-2 following extra time. Jerry Yates and Gary Madine's goals were canceled out by Semi Ajayi and Matheus Pereira to send the game into extra time.
