- Stevenage have won two of their last three home games, winning 11, drawing six and losing just two at the Lamex this season.
- Blackpool are winless in three away (D1, L2), and have won just three away in League One 2025-2026 (W3, D4, L13).
- Stevenage have won the most recent head-to-head against Blackpool in League One 2025-2026, with the last fixture between the sides finishing 3-2 in Stevenage’s favour.
Stevenage’s solid structure should see them to victory
7th-placed Stevenage have enjoyed a fine campaign in League One 2025-2026, picking up 60 points from 38 games, and the hosts should take the points against 20th-placed Blackpool on Monday.
After the appointment of Alex Revell in April 2024, Stevenage have played a pragmatic, compact style of football that has made them extremely difficult to break down and very dangerous on the break.
With a home record of W11, D6, L2, Stevenage have been extremely consistent at the Lamex, particularly in defence where they have conceded just 11 goals in 19 matches. Jamie Reid is their talisman, with 13 goals in 36 League One games, and has scored three of Stevenage’s last four goals.
Blackpool lack bite on the road
Blackpool FC are near the relegation zone, with 45 points from 40 games, but Ian Evatt’s men have picked up just three wins from 20 away in League One 2025-2026 (D4, L13).
Evatt’s back three system has seen Blackpool control games through possession, wing-back overloads and positional rotation, but they have lacked the directness needed to put away teams on the road, with Niall Ennis scoring two goals in Blackpool’s last five.
Ashley Fletcher leads the line for Blackpool with 15 goals from 38 League One appearances, a consistent threat despite the Tangerines’ struggles.
Stevenage have the momentum
With a solid home record, recent momentum and a well drilled structure that should hold Blackpool at bay, a Stevenage win at 22/25 looks excellent value for the hosts.
Reid and Ennis could both get on the scoresheet, with Stevenage averaging 1.0 goals per game in head-to-heads at home, while Blackpool average 1.5 as visitors in their last five head-to-heads.
This should be a tactical battle of sorts, with Blackpool looking to control the game through possession and Stevenage looking to press them high up the pitch and attack in numbers on the counter. This should suit the home side, but Blackpool have been better of late (W2, D1, L2), so the draw looks likely if the form book is anything to go by.
