- Team form: Bromley are on a 2-game losing streak with a recent record of W1, D1, L3 across all current competitions
- Home form: Blackpool are unbeaten at home in League One 2026/2027 with one win and a draw from two matches
- Style note: Blackpool FC are a much more structured team in 2026-27 and are a tougher to break down
Solid Seasiders can hold out against the Ravens
Market and standings
Blackpool are the slight favourites in the match result market at 2.18 and that is probably about right given Bromley have a worse record than Blackpool in League One 2026/2027. The Seasiders sit 11th with seven points from five games, but the Ravens are 21st with four points from four.
Recent form
Ian Evatt's team arrive at Bloomfield Road on the back of a two-match losing streak after following up a 4-0 home victory over Peterborough United with defeats to Barnsley and Reading in League One 2026/2027.
Tactical shift
Evatt's approach has changed. Since taking the job at the beginning of October 2025, Evatt has slowly but surely made Blackpool into a less high-scoring team that play at a slower pace and press selectively. They are more structured and better defensively and can lock up games more effectively than in years gone by.
Bromley will have a go at Blackpool on Saturday, but they are a relatively small team that like to play with high intensity and can be vulnerable in transitions. Andy Woodman has done a decent job at The Ravens since he took over in March 2021, making them a compact team that plays off counter-attacks and a set-piece threat.
The problem is that Blackpool are not the same old Blackpool and are a lot more like Watford or Portsmouth or Sunderland in the way they go about their business now. They are just a bit more rigid and could get the win here against Bromley, who are on a two-match losing run after a 1-1 home draw with Cambridge United was followed by a 7-2 away hammering by Sheffield Wednesday and then a 5-0 loss to Leyton Orient on home turf in League One 2026/2027.
Victor Adeboyejo provides the main goal threat for the visitors
Bromley have conceded 3.50 goals per game away from home in the league so far and that is a big negative against a side that keep things tight at home.
Over 2.5 goals is priced at 1.9 and Both Teams To Score – Yes at 1.7 is also tempting as there will be chances at both ends, but the stats suggest Blackpool should just edge a close game with Josh Bowler their main goal thread – two goals in five games in the league.
He has scored two of their three goals in the last five matches and looks a good outside shot for an anytime goal at 6/1.
- Blackpool have conceded just one goal at Bloomfield Road in League One 2026/2027, but there is a touch of value in the home team in the win market at around 2.18.
- Bromley's danger man is Victor Adeboyejo, who is top scorer in the club's League One 2026/2027 campaign with three goals in four appearances.
