Select Car Leasing Stadium will be the centre of attention when Reading and Blackpool face each other in an an eagerly-awaited League One clash. The Royals are riding high after a stunning 5-0 win over Mansfield, with Jack Marriott scoring twice and emerging as the man to watch. Andy Rinomhota picked up a knock in that triumph, meaning Charlie Savage is ready to step in. Reading have scored 2.00 goals per game at home across their last 10 matches.
Blackpool, meanwhile, will be looking to bounce back from a 2-1 defeat to Barnsley despite creating plenty of chances, registering 2.32 xG and 18 attempts. George Honeyman is doubtful after picking up a knock in that game. The Seasiders have been excellent away from home, winning 80% of their last 10 matches on the road while averaging 1.60 goals per game. They have also scored in every one of their last 10 matches overall.
Considering that 64% of the last 22 H2H meetings produced at least three goals, this betting option should be considered, alongside BTTS and Over 3.5 goals.
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 5 September 2026 at 15:00.
