Blackpool vs Mansfield Town predictions point to a close Bloomfield Road afternoon, as a Blackpool side that scores freely at home host a Mansfield team unbeaten in five in League One. Kick-off at Bloomfield Road is 3pm on Saturday.
Blackpool sit 17th on 11 points from 10 games but have been a handful at home, where 11 of their goals have come. Mansfield are 11th on 15 points from 10 and unbeaten in five, and they won 3-0 at AFC Wimbledon last time out.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson has gone through the markets at Bloomfield Road and lands on one confident pick and one for the bigger-price hunters.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Michael Smith to score anytime | 15/8 (bet365) | Michael Smith is Mansfield Town’s top scorer with five League One goals, and three of them have come in his last two games, including a brace in the 3-0 win at AFC Wimbledon last time out. Blackpool have kept only two clean sheets all season and have conceded seven goals in five home games, so the chances should come. Mansfield have scored in seven of their 10 league games. bet365’s 15/8 on Smith scoring at any time is the shorter of our two picks. |
| Draw and both teams to score | 10/3 (Paddy Power) | These two shared a 3-3 draw at Bloomfield Road in February 2025, and both sides’ current numbers point to another close, open game. Blackpool have scored 11 goals at home but conceded seven, and both teams have scored in three of their five home games. Mansfield have drawn three of their 10 league games, including 2-2 at Burton Albion and 1-1 with Oxford United in their last four. Paddy Power’s 10/3 on a draw with goals at both ends is our bigger-price pick. |

How Blackpool go into the game
Blackpool go into this 17th in League One on 11 points from 10 matches, and last time out they beat Milton Keynes Dons 2-0 at home. That followed back-to-back away defeats at Leyton Orient (0-2) and Cambridge United (0-1), with a 4-2 home loss to Plymouth and a 2-2 home draw with Bromley completing the recent picture.
The split is stark. At Bloomfield Road they have won two, drawn two and lost one, scoring 11 and conceding seven, but on the road it is just one win from five. With only two clean sheets and two blanks all season, the hosts tend to be involved in open games, yet home advantage has clearly been their platform.
How Mansfield Town go into the game
Mansfield arrive 11th on 15 points from 10 games and unbeaten in their last five. They won 3-0 at AFC Wimbledon last time out, with a 1-1 home draw against Oxford, a 2-1 home win over Bromley, a 2-2 draw at Burton and a 0-0 home stalemate with Huddersfield behind them.
The concern is travel. Mansfield’s away record reads one win, one draw and three defeats, with only six goals scored and 10 conceded on the road, and they have failed to score three times overall. Their home form of 3W-2D-0L is excellent, but this trip asks very different questions of them.

Blackpool vs Mansfield Town head-to-head
| Date | Home | Score | Away |
|---|---|---|---|
| 17/02/26 | Blackpool | 1-0 | Mansfield Town |
| 19/08/25 | Mansfield Town | 2-0 | Blackpool |
| 15/02/25 | Blackpool | 3-3 | Mansfield Town |
| 05/10/24 | Mansfield Town | 2-0 | Blackpool |
| 02/01/17 | Blackpool | 0-1 | Mansfield Town |
These sides have met five times in our records, and the honours are mixed. Blackpool won the most recent meeting 1-0 at Bloomfield Road in February 2026, but Mansfield took both fixtures at Field Mill 2-0 and the pair shared a 3-3 thriller in Lancashire in early 2025. Home advantage has mattered in most of these, which reads reasonably for the Seasiders.
