Sheffield Wednesday vs Blackpool Prediction, 1 Nov 2026

Sheffield Wednesday host Blackpool in League One. Wednesday have been doing solid work in the upper half of the table while Blackpool have found life much tougher of late, sitting down near the bottom.

Wednesday's home performances have thrown up some big scorelines this season, and Blackpool have shipped plenty of goals on their travels. That gap in results makes this one worth digging into before settling on how it might play out.

Form check: contrasting trajectories

Sheffield Wednesday's overall record across their last 20 games reads nine wins, five draws and six losses, with 28 scored and 24 conceded. Within that, their home form has included a 5-0 thumping of AFC Wimbledon and a 7-2 romp past Bromley, though their last two league outings, both away from home, ended in defeat to Notts County and Doncaster.

Blackpool's numbers are far rougher: six wins from 20, with 11 losses and more goals conceded than scored. Their recent league run has been particularly bad, with four defeats in their last five matches, including a heavy 1-4 home loss to Mansfield Town just days ago.

Wednesday's home scoring has been eye-catching, but their last two league results show they're not immune to off days.

History leans old, not recent

The two sides last met in a League Cup tie back in 2024, which Blackpool won 1-0. Beyond that, the head-to-head record stretches back to Championship and FA Cup meetings from 2011 to 2015, a different era for both clubs.

The table tells its own story

Sheffield Wednesday sit sixth with 18 points from nine games, while Blackpool are down in 20th with just eight points from the same number of matches. That's a significant gap in both points and goal difference, with Wednesday on plus-12 and Blackpool on minus-3.

Putting it together, Wednesday look the stronger side on current league position and home scoring output, even allowing for their recent dip away from home.

Blackpool's struggles, particularly defensively, make it hard to back them with any confidence here, so the home win looks the most sensible route into this one.
