"Extending on their EFL Trophy adventure last time out as they stormed their way to a stunning 7-2 romp away at Salford, Matt Hamshaw's side will be desperate to use that season-best performance as a platform to build on going forward. Knowing that they can find a route into the top-half of the League One standings in midweek, the Reds have not suffered a single defeat within 90 minutes from any of their previous 13 consecutive appearances across all competitions."
"As for the visitors, while some in Blackpool's camp might have opened up the 2025/26 campaign with their sights set on mounting another genuine play-off charge, the Seasiders find themselves at the heart of a major League One nightmare. Despite extending on their FA Cup adventure last time out as they secured a 4-1 victory at home against National League outfit Carlisle, that is the only win that Ian Evatt's side have secured from any of their last six appearances across all competitions."
Rotherham pursue a route into the League One top half while hosting Blackpool at the New York Stadium. The Millers have picked up just a single point in four of their last five League One matches but recorded a 7-2 EFL Trophy win at Salford and a 3-0 league win over Lincoln. Rotherham are unbeaten in 13 consecutive matches across all competitions since early October and have suffered only one home defeat this season. Blackpool have managed only one win in their last six matches—a 4-1 FA Cup victory over Carlisle—and sit in the relegation zone with notable away form issues.
