- Blackpool are unbeaten in two home League One 2026/2027 fixtures (W1, D1)
- Bromley have conceded an average of 3.50 goals per game on their two away fixtures in League One 2026/2027

Blackpool could have the edge in style clash
Blackpool FC are a completely different side to the one that Ian Evatt inherited in October 2025 and Saturday's clash with Bromley will be a clash of styles for the Seasiders and The Ravens.
Evatt has gradually shifted the ball-playing emphasis of Blackpool to a slower-paced, more structured approach that is defence-first with the pressing triggered at very select moments. The visitors, meanwhile, are a sharp, direct side with their best play coming when they win the ball back in the attacking half and are set up to counter-attack.
Andy Woodman has moulded Bromley into this shape since taking over in March 2021 and the visitors arrive on the back of a two-match losing streak after a 1-1 home draw with Cambridge United. The 7-2 hammering they suffered away to Sheffield Wednesday was followed up by a 5-0 home defeat to Leyton Orient in League One 2026/2027.
Seasiders can edge it in a tight affair
The Seasiders are fresh from a 4-0 win over Peterborough United at home, but then lost two away games in League One 2026/2027 at Barnsley and Reading to make it two defeats in a row for Blackpool.
Blackpool are 59/50 favourites for this game ahead of Bromley at 21/10 with the draw priced at 5/2, which seems about right given the relative positions of the two clubs in the table. Blackpool are 11th after seven points from five games while the Ravens are 21st after taking four from four.
Our belief that Blackpool will shade what should be a fairly close contest is based on their home record of one win and one draw. They have conceded only once in that pair of games, which should be a warning to a Bromley side that have shipped 3.50 goals per away game in this new league.
Josh Bowler is the spark in Blackpool's side and he has scored two in five League One 2026/2027 games so far, but they have enough about them to see off Bromley on Saturday and 9/10 about the game having over 2.5 goals appeals, although Both Teams to Score - Yes at 7/10 looks equally good given this game should feature chances at each end.
