Notts County look to get the better of Blackpool
Notts County:
Notts County sit 20th in the League One 2026/2027 table with seven points from their opening seven matches and each point counts. Martin Paterson has been in charge since 22nd June 2025 and his patient 3-4-2-1 formation with wing-backs and a structured style of play is there to be exploited.
Notts County have won only once in their last five (W1, D2, L2), losing their last two, a 1-0 home defeat to Bradford City and a 2-0 loss at Reading. However, they're at home in this one and have found their rhythm at Meadow Lane so far (W1, D1, L1, scored 3).
Blackpool:
Blackpool are only a point above Notts County in 15th and they're very much still in the mix. Ian Evatt's side have won just one of their last five (W1, D1, L3), although their games have been more open than Notts' games. Their previous two results have seen them draw 2-2 at home to Bromley and lose 4-2 at home to Plymouth Argyle, leaving them a little short on steel in the backline.
Match outlook
A game with Notts County is more about control and patience as they look to control the ball and dictate play. Blackpool are more direct, 4-2-3-1 with a quick transition game and they like to play wide.
Under 2.5 goals appeals as the correct score angle as we feel this will be a tight game and with neither side in particularly good form, we don't see this getting out of hand.
- Oliver Cooper has notched three goals in seven League One 2026/2027 matches and is Notts County's top scorer, while they need top scorer Jerry Yates to sharpen up the edge.
- Yates has two goals in five League One 2026/2027 for Blackpool, but Luka Smyth has been in red-hot form for the Magpies with two goals in the last five.
