Southampton face a trip to Blackpool at Bloomfield Road on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 14 out of 20 times.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in March 2008, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides
Blackpool's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Seasiders have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.
Southampton's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The Saints's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 7.
Blackpool find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 46 points from their 39 matches. Southampton are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola Championship with a return of just 39 points from their 38 games thus far.
