Welcome to our Blackpool vs Stockport County prediction, where we break down the numbers, the tactics, and the drama ahead of Tuesday night’s League One fixture at Bloomfield Road. With both teams at very different ends of the table, and the betting odds hinting at a close contest, this is a match that promises intrigue for fans and punters alike.
Let’s set the scene. Stockport County arrive on the northwest coast sitting pretty in 4th place, boasting 45 points and a solid away record (6 wins, 3 draws, 3 defeats). Their recent form is impressive: three wins, a draw, and just one loss in their last five. Their last outing—a 3-2 win over Rotherham—shows they’re not shy in front of goal.
Blackpool, meanwhile, are in a far more precarious position. The Seasiders are 20th, with just 29 points, and their recent record is worrying: four defeats and a single win in their last five. Earlier in the season, Blackpool were rooted in the relegation zone, losing all six of their away league games by October. At home, though, they’ve shown flashes of resilience—like their surprise 0-0 draw at Birmingham in December, defying odds of 6.5.
Injury news could play a big part. Blackpool are still missing striker Niall Ennis (Achilles), while Dale Taylor’s fitness is touch-and-go. The return of James Husband, Danny Imray, Josh Bowler, and Albie Morgan adds depth, but it’s Ashley Fletcher (11 goals) and T. Bloxham (5 goals) who carry the main threat. Ian Evatt, who took over from Steve Bruce, will be desperate to steady the ship.
Stockport have their own headaches. Captain Lewis Bate is a long-term absentee, and creative force Ollie Norwood has only just returned to training after surgery. Attacking midfielder Jack Diamond (4 goals, 4 assists) is attracting transfer attention, while Kyle Wootton remains a reliable scorer. Manager Dave Challinor’s focus on consistency has paid off, even with a lengthy injury list.
Let’s talk numbers. The betting odds for this Blackpool vs Stockport County prediction are tight: home win at 3.5, draw at 3.5, and away win at 2.15. The away side are slight favorites, and our analysis agrees—predicting a Stockport win (2) as the most likely outcome, with a confidence of 2.4 and matching odds of 2.15.
In terms of total goals, our best tip—according to NerdyTips—is under 3.5 goals, with a trust level of 5.0/10 and odds of 1.35. This fits the pattern: Stockport’s recent wins have been efficient, not explosive, and Blackpool’s struggles in attack are well documented. Our predicted final score? 1-2 to Stockport, with Blackpool perhaps sneaking ahead at the break (1-0), only to be pegged back by County’s second-half surge.
So, if you’re looking for value in the betting odds, the under 3.5 goals market looks solid, and a Stockport win is where our AI tips its hat. With both sides missing key players, expect a tight affair—just don’t expect a goal-fest.
