Blackpool - Mansfield

Blackpool head into this matchday 13 encounter seeking to maintain the positive energy generated by their recent victory over Milton Keynes Dons. Having halted a difficult run of results with that 2-0 win on 20 October 2026, the hosts will look to make the most of home advantage at Bloomfield Road to climb the League One table. The challenge remains significant, however, as they prepare to face a visiting side currently finding their rhythm.

Mansfield Town arrive in high spirits following an impressive 3-0 victory against AFC Wimbledon on 20 October 2026. This result extended their unbeaten league run to three matches, showcasing a newfound defensive solidity alongside their attacking threat. History between these two sides has been competitive, with their most recent League One meeting on 17 February 2026 ending in a narrow 1-0 victory for Blackpool, setting the stage for another tight contest.
