Team News
Blackpool snapped a four-game losing streak with a 2-0 home victory over Northampton, providing some relief after heavy concessions and low confidence. Their home form has been mixed but improved lately, with goals from key attackers. Injuries remain a concern: no major new reports, but the squad has been stretched with long-term issues in defense and midfield limiting depth. Expect reliance on forwards like Ashley Fletcher (top scorer with double-digit goals) and others such as Niall Ennis or C.J. Hamilton for threat, alongside midfield energy from Lee Evans. The Seasiders will aim for a physical, direct approach at Bloomfield Road, where they've picked up points recently, but defensive frailty (conceding 39 goals) could be exposed.
Stockport County are in good nick, four unbeaten in recent outings and building momentum toward the top six. Their away form is solid compared to many rivals, with a balanced side scoring freely (37 goals this season) while keeping things tight at the back (only 32 conceded). No significant new injuries highlighted; the core squad is available, with attackers providing pace and creativity. Expect Dave Challinor's men to set up in a 4-2-3-1 or similar, pressing high and exploiting transitions through wingers and forwards. They've been tough to beat lately, grinding results even on the road.
Head to Head Analysis
Stockport have dominated recent meetings, winning three of the last few competitive clashes with no wins for Blackpool and no draws in that sample—often by narrow margins but showing Stockport's edge in quality. Earlier this season, the reverse fixture ended in a 1-1 draw, but Stockport have generally performed better in these matchups, scoring consistently while limiting Blackpool's chances. At Bloomfield Road, games have been competitive, but Stockport's current promotion push contrasts Blackpool's survival scrap. Expect Stockport to control more possession, with Blackpool relying on set pieces and counters—low-to-mid scoring typical in their encounters, though Stockport's attack can open things up.
Prediction
Blackpool's home ground and recent bounce could make this awkward early, with the crowd pushing for a reaction against the drop. However, Stockport's superior position, better form, attacking output, and H2H dominance make them clear favorites—they're organized, clinical, and motivated for points in the promotion race. Blackpool might nick a goal, but Stockport's quality should prevail in a controlled win, likely keeping it tight defensively.
Final Prediction: Stockport County win 2-1 (or 2-0). Away side to claim the points—around 60-65% confidence in a Stockport victory, with over 2.5 goals possible but under also in play given recent trends.
