Blackpool continue their push for consistency as they host Doncaster in Friday's relegation six-pointer. Given Doncaster's poor form in December, our prediction leans toward a 2-1 home win. The Seasiders are entering this clash unbeaten in four and averaging 1.75 points per game at home. The Seasiders have been particularly strong going forward at Bloomfield Road, scoring 2.25 goals per match, while their overall games average a lively 3.30 goals. However, they continue to struggle defensively, with the team conceding in 75% of home fixtures and facing potential absences. Both Hayden Coulson and Olly Casey are doubtful after picking up knocks in the 2-0 victory over Wigan.
The Donny, meanwhile, arrive under heavy pressure after a damaging 5-1 loss to Plymouth, a result that halted their earlier winning momentum. Grant McCann’s side remain dangerous going forward — their matches average 3.70 goals, with BTTS landing in 80% of their recent games — but defensive fragility is a major issue, as they concede 1.90 goals per match overall. Still, they travel with a full squad, as there are no fresh injury worries.
Considering Blackpool's fine home numbers and Doncaster’s defensive issues, we are tempted to place our bets on Home Win, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Blackpool Over 1.5.
This League 1 match will be played on Friday 26 December 2025 at 15:00.
