Sheffield Wednesday vs Blackpool Preview
After being held to a 1-1 draw by Cambridge United in the last round, Sheffield Wednesday will look to return to winning ways when they face Blackpool on Saturday afternoon. The Owls have been difficult to beat at home, collecting 1.80 points per game and conceding just 0.20 goals on average across their last five matches at Hillsborough. However, their injury list remains extensive, with Jamal Lowe suspended and George Brown and Louie Barry unavailable. Liam Cooper and Di’Shon Bernard are also doubts, while Mason Burstow is expected to lead the line again.
Blackpool, meanwhile, suffered a humiliating 4-1 home defeat to Mansfield in their latest outing, extending their inconsistent run. The Seasiders have been particularly poor on their travels, losing all four of their away matches and conceding an average of 2.25 goals per game. Fraser Horsfall, CJ Hamilton, Michael Ihiekwe, George Honeyman and Niall Ennis are all expected to miss out, while Jerry Yates could return to the starting XI.
Despite their own selection problems, Sheffield Wednesday have a significant home advantage, making Home Win the our main betting pick. Blackpool's defensive record also supports Sheffield Wednesday over 1.5 team goals and Over 1.5 goals total (64% H2H).
This League 1 match will be played on Sunday, 1 November 2026 at 14:00 in Hillsborough Stadium, Sheffield, England.
