Blackpool
WWLWWW 📈
Blackpool will go into this meeting following on from a 3-0 League One win vs Reading in their previous outing.

A succession of reliable performances from the Blackpool defenders has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 4 from their previous 6 fixtures combined. Over that same period of time, their forwards have scored 10. Such a trend might not be carried forward here, of course.
Their past results show that Blackpool:
- haven't beaten Rotherham United in away games against them for the last 6 league matches. Not good at all.
- are unbeaten in their last 2 league matches away from home.
↔️ Head to head
Looking over their past head to head results going back to 05/05/2018 reveals that these encounters have been disappointments for Blackpool. They have not managed to come away with any victories whatsoever while Rotherham United have simply been better than them, running out winners in 67% of those matches.
A sum of 10 goals were scored between them in these games, with 8 for The Millers and 2 coming from The Seasiders. That’s an average goals per game figure of 1.67.
The previous league game between these clubs was League One match day 19 on 11/02/2025 and the score finished Blackpool 0-0 Rotherham United.
The referee was Seb Stockbridge.
ℹ️ Team News: Blackpool
Out of a mainly full-strength group of players, there is only the lone fitness problem for the Blackpool boss Steve Bruce to be concerned with. Andy Lyons (Cruciate ligament injury) won’t be in action.
🧠 Prediction
Blackpool and Rotherham United may well find themselves both scoring in what promises to be a very even battle here.
It could well end in a draw. We’re therefore predicting a tight encounter with a 1-1 scoreline at the end of this one.
