- Sheffield Wednesday have lost their last two matches, but have won their last two home matches.
- Blackpool have won one and lost four of their five away matches in League One 2026/2027, conceding 1.80 goals per away game.
Wednesday to return to winning ways
Henrik Pedersen has done a good job so far since arriving at Sheffield Wednesday on 31 July 2025. His high-press, vertical style of play has got Wednesday into the mix for a top-six finish, but their back-to-back 2-0 defeats at Notts County and Doncaster Rovers in League One 2026/2027 suggests that a slump might be upon them.
The Owls still hold the edge in this matchup, however, as Blackpool's form has been mixed of late, registering two wins and three defeats in their last five games.
The Seasiders followed up a 2-0 win at home to Milton Keynes Dons FC with a 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Mansfield Town in their most recent League One 2026/2027 outing, and Ian Evatt's possession-first 3-at-the-back setup hasn't exactly had the best chance to take hold since he was appointed on 21 October 2025.
Tangerines can’t hold up against Owls in this fixture
Albie Morgan has chipped in with two goals from Blackpool's last five, giving the Seasiders a useful late-running goal threat from midfield, while Jerry Yates is a proven penalty-box outlet with two in five in League One 2026/2027.
Jamal Lowe continues to be Wednesday's cleanest finishing threat, scoring four times in seven games since the start of League One 2026/2027, but Blackpool could make things tough for the home side in this press vs possession fixture. Wednesday's higher work-rate and more direct transitions could unsettle Blackpool's build-up, so the game should tilt in their favour more often.
Value in Sheffield Wednesday win & BTTS - no
Sheffield Wednesday are 3/5 favourites in the outright market with Blackpool 4/1 and the draw 31/10, and that makes the hosts the likelier winner on Sunday.
Wednesday's home record in League One 2026/2027 is solid but not spectacular - two wins, two draws and a defeat - but they have won their two most recent home matches and should be able to return Hillsborough to a proper fortress against poor Seasiders Blackpool.
The value in this one, however, is in the Sheffield Wednesday to win & both teams not to score - no selection. The hosts have scored 2.40 goals per home game and conceded just 0.60, while Blackpool concede 1.80 per away match.
