- Peterborough United have failed to win any of their last three away League One fixtures, taking one point.
- Blackpool have won ten, drawn five, and lost only six home fixtures in League One this term.
- Blackpool have won three of their last five matches (D1, L1) and have kept three clean sheets in a row at Bloomfield Road.
An important game in League One
Blackpool FC (20th) and Peterborough United (13th) have 48 and 51 points respectively from their first 42 and 40 games of League One 2025-2026. However, Ian Evatt and Luke Williams’ clubs could hardly be further apart in terms of playing style.
Since Evatt’s appointment in late October 2025, Blackpool have stuck with a structured 3-5-2 system that is built around patient build-up, positional rotations, and calculated wing-back overloads. Meanwhile, Luke Williams has installed a fast-paced, vertical 4-3-3 that relies on wide overloads and non-stop pressing at Peterborough United, hoping to catch their opponents off guard when they hit them on the break.
Across their two most recent meetings, including a 2-1 away win at Peterborough United five months ago in League One, Blackpool are unbeaten (W1, D1), while United have yet to beat Ian Evatt’s men (D1, L1).
Blackpool have the edge
We’re going to tip Blackpool to nick a result in what should be an entertaining matchup on Saturday. Evatt’s side have won their last three games at Bloomfield Road and kept clean sheets in each, while Peterborough United have won just seven of their 21 road games in League One (D2, L12).
The visitors have shipped 32 goals at an average of 1.52 per-match when playing away from home and they need a clinical performance in front of goal to beat this Blackpool side, who have netted 31 goals in 21 home games.
Going for goals
The odds for both teams to score are 1/2, but with the home side keeping a few clean sheets and Peterborough conceding plenty on the road, we’re siding with the hosts here at 21/25. Over 2.5 goals is also favoured, coming in at 57/100.
Ashley Fletcher has been Blackpool’s main attacking outlet this term, notching 15 goals in 40 League One games. Meanwhile, Jimmy-Jay Morgan will provide Peterborough with a spark, having scored four goals in his last five games for the Posh.
