Blackpool last faced Cardiff City at Bloomfield Road in October 2014 in a Championship, winning 1-0 with a goal from Francois Zoko, one of only four league wins by the Seasiders that season.
Cardiff have only won two of their last 24 league visits to Blackpool (D6 L16), a 1-0 win in 2007-08 and a 2-1 victory in 2012-13.
Blackpool have won their first home league match of the season in four of the last five seasons (L1), winning 2-0 against Swindon Town last season.
The last time Blackpool hosted Cardiff in their first home league match of the season was in 2009-10, drawing 1-1 – the sides would then play the final match of that Championship season in the play-off final at Wembley, a 3-2 victory for the Tangerines.
Cardiff have only lost one of their last 12 away league games (W6 D5), going down 5-0 against Sheffield Wednesday in April.
