Ipswich Town aim to build on a 2-1 win over Oxford United and given Blackpool's shaky defence, we predict that the Tractor Boys will book their place in the FA Cup last 32 with a 3-1 win over the League One side. Ipswich Town head into this match in excellent form, winning 4 of their last 5 matches and sitting on 2 points per game overall. Their home dominance is notable – 3 straight wins at Portman Road, averaging 2.75 goals per home match while conceding just 0.5. Clean sheets in 50% of home games make them tough to break down.
The Seasiders, on the other hand, are also in solid form, winning 3 of their last 5, but their away record is patchy. They average 4.25 goals per away match (including conceded goals) – suggesting open, high-scoring games when they travel. Defender James Husband returns, potentially stabilizing their backline after last week’s 2-1 loss to Bradford City. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of Saturday's FA Cup game.
Ipswich have the edge in defense (0.8 goals conceded per game overall) versus Blackpool’s 1.7 conceded. Therefore, Home Win is our main betting tip, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (Blackpool’s high-scoring, open style away suggests at least 3 goals likely).
This FA Cup match will be played on Saturday 10 January 2026 at 15:00.
