Blackpool vs Peterborough United Match Summary
Competition | English League One |
|---|---|
Match Date | Saturday 29 August 2026 |
Match Time | 12:30 UK time |
Venue (City, Stadium) | Bloomfield Road |
Blackpool host Peterborough United at Bloomfield Road on 29 August 2026, an early League One kick-off with both sides arriving in decent nick. Our Blackpool vs Peterborough United prediction favours the hosts.
The Tangerines have made a solid domestic start, taking four points from their opening two League One outings with a draw against Wycombe Wanderers and a 2-1 win at Stockport County.
Peterborough go into this one in good heart too, banking three points from their first two League One fixtures after losing to Bradford City before beating Mansfield Town 2-1.
History points to goals in this fixture. Blackpool have scored 2+ goals in 7 out of 9 matches against Peterborough in League One, and the recent record between the sides reads three home wins to two away.
Blackpool vs Peterborough United Form
Blackpool have won 5 of their last 6 matches in League One, and that domestic momentum carried into their 2-1 win at Stockport, where Tom Bloxham and Josh Bowler struck early. It has not all been smooth, though, as they were hammered 4-1 at Lincoln City in the EFL Cup in midweek, so Ian Evatt will want a home rebound.
Peterborough backed up their 2-1 League One win over Mansfield with a shock 5-1 EFL Cup demolition of Watford, meaning Luke Williams' side have won three of their first four in all competitions. Harry Leonard is the man in form, bagging twice against Watford after netting the winner at Mansfield.

Blackpool vs Peterborough United Bet Builder
Our four-leg bet builder leans on the goals in this fixture: Blackpool over 1.5 team goals, Jerry Yates to score anytime, both teams to score and the hosts to win.
The over 1.5 Blackpool team goals leg is well founded, with the hosts having scored 2+ goals in 7 of the last 9 against Peterborough in League One.
Yates anytime looks value on his return, having scored in 2 of his last 3 appearances against Peterborough in League One before this loan spell back on the Fylde coast.
Both teams to score is well supported, with 3+ goals scored in 8 of the last 9 meetings between these sides in League One, and Peterborough carrying real threat up top.
The Blackpool win to round it off fits the wider picture, with the hosts favourites at home and winners of five of their last six in League One.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 3/1 and is as short as 13/5 elsewhere. That's a difference in potential winnings of £5 from best to worst price.

Blackpool vs Peterborough United Talking Points
The big question is whether Blackpool can shake off their 4-1 EFL Cup loss at Lincoln City and get their domestic run back on track. Peterborough arrive full of belief after a 5-1 win over Championship side Watford in the same competition, so Evatt's men cannot afford to be sloppy at the back. Blackpool's re-signing of Jerry Yates on loan from Luton Town gives them a proven finisher for the sharp end of this one, and with both sides scoring for fun the game shapes up as a proper League One goal-fest.
