Sheffield Wednesday - Blackpool

Sheffield Wednesday look to Josh Windass to provide the spark as they return to Hillsborough for this League One matchday 14 encounter on 1 November 2026. After a recent wobble that saw them fall to consecutive defeats against Doncaster Rovers and Notts County, the home side will be eager to recapture the clinical form displayed in their dominant 5-0 victory over AFC Wimbledon. A hard-fought draw with Cambridge United last time out highlighted their need for greater consistency in the final third as they aim to climb the table.

Blackpool arrive at Hillsborough following a mixed run of results, including a recent 4-1 league loss to Mansfield Town. While they showcased their attacking potential in a 3-2 EFL Trophy win over Aston Villa Academy, their defensive vulnerabilities have been exposed in recent weeks. With both sides looking to find stability, the tactical battle will likely hinge on which team can better manage the transition phases and tighten their defensive structure.
