Blackpool vs Stevenage Predictions

Stevenage can edge cagey affair

Saturday’s League One clash between Blackpool and Stevenage at Bloomfield Road is unlikely to feature many goals. 

Six of Stevenage’s last eight league games have produced under 2.5 goals and that trend looks set to continue in this encounter, with Steve Bruce’s Blackpool side also struggling for attacking prowess.

This is a mid-table clash, with Blackpool sitting tenth and Stevenage in 12th and the two sides are separated by just one point. Blackpool have won seven of their 19 games, while Stevenage also have seven wins, four draws and seven losses.

Blackpool are going for a fourth successive League One win, but they have also gone four games without a victory at home in the league. Meanwhile, Stevenage have won their last two league matches and that includes a 2-1 victory over Stockport last week.

There have been under 2.5 goals in eight of Stevenage’s last ten away games and no League One team’s matches have finished with fewer than three goals more times than Stevenage’s this season (13).

Blackpool have the edge in terms of recent results, but their home form is patchy and Stevenage could take advantage. 

Five of Stevenage’s seven League One victories this season have been by one goal and with that in mind a 1-0 win for the visitors looks like a decent correct-score bet.
