The 2025-26 FA Cup third round will pit Championship side Ipswich Town, looking to push their advantage, against League One team Blackpool. This match on Saturday in Ipswich between the Tractor Boys and the Tangerines comes with our prediction of both teams scoring goals.
The hosts are starting their campaign in this round, while Blackpool started in the first round. They defeated Scunthorpe United 1-0 and Carlisle United 4-1 in their last two rounds to qualify for this fixture. Ipswich won the FA Cup in 1977-78 but haven’t gone beyond the fifth round in the last 28 editions of this competition. Blackpool won this competition way back in 1952-53 and played Ipswich just once previously in the FA Cup, losing 2-1 in 2010.
Ipswich won 2-1 at home against Oxford United on New Year’s Day in the Championship to stay third in the second division. They are looking set to challenge for direct promotion back to the Premier League after getting relegated last season.
Blackpool lost 2-1 at home to Bradford City in their last match in League One for a second consecutive defeat. These results have halted their run of four wins and a draw in the league, helping them jump out of the League One relegation zone.

Our Ipswich Town vs Blackpool Prediction
This is a mismatch on paper, as Ipswich are pushing for direct promotion from the Championship, while Blackpool are struggling in League One, closer to the relegation zone. That said, FA Cup matches rarely go by the form book. This match is a great chance for Blackpool to put one past their fancied hosts. The Tangerines may struggle to grab that chance, especially as their recent form has been poor. The visitors should still fancy their chances of finding at least a goal here.
The Tractor Boys could concede at least once, so our Ipswich Town vs Blackpool prediction is BTTS.
