Blackpool desperately need points on Friday, Jan 1 at 4:00 PM in the League 1. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Blackpool come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Doncaster Rovers, meanwhile, arrive out of form (1W 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Blackpool head into this on the back of a defeat, while Doncaster Rovers arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Blackpool and Doncaster Rovers have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (4W–2D–4W). Their last encounter ended in Blackpool won 1–2.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Blackpool win or a draw looks most likely.
