Blackpool and Northampton meet in a crucial clash at the bottom of League One, with just one point separating the sides. As Northampton are not regarded as good travellers, we predict a 1-0 home win. The Seasiders have no fresh injury concerns after their 2-1 defeat at Barnsley, and despite their poor run of four losses in five, their home form remains respectable. Blackpool average 2.00 points per home match, scoring 2.4 goals per game at Bloomfield Road, while keeping 40% home clean sheets. The hosts rarely fail to score, with a perfect 0% failed-to-score rate this season.
Northampton also come into this fixture off a 2-1 defeat, losing to Wycombe, and remain without McGeehan, Shaw, and Wheatley. Their away record is worrying, collecting just 0.25 points per away match, scoring only 0.5 goals per game on the road and conceding 2.25. Overall, the Cobblers show more balance at home but struggle significantly once they travel.
Historically, Blackpool hold the edge with five wins in the last ten meetings, while Northampton have just four. Northampton’s away defensive instability could be decisive here. Therefore, Home Win should be considered, alongside Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals.
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 24 January 2026 at 15:00.
