- Since Ian Evatt took charge at Blackpool in October 2025, they have played an attractive, possession-based game with quick, vertical passing and well-structured pressing traps.
Burton (Away)
- Burton Albion are four places better off in 18th after collecting 46 points from 39 matches, which keeps them just ahead of the drop zone.
- The Brewers are in slightly better form than the Tangerines with two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five, but they will find it hard to get a result on Saturday.
- Burton Albion, who have been organised and pragmatic since Gary Bowyer took charge in December 2024, are much more compact and solid, looking to transition quickly when they do get the ball and creating most of their chances from set-pieces.

- Blackpool FC have won eight, drawn five and lost six of their 19 League One home matches this season
- Burton Albion have won four, drawn seven and lost eight of their 19 League One away matches this campaign

- The odds on a home win here look attractive at 2.54, with Over 2.5 goals at 2.0 and Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.7.
Prediction
A home victory is the most likely result, but both teams to score seems a given as do over 2.5 goals given Blackpool’s average 1.53 goals scored and 1.47 goals conceded at home in League One
