Football – England – League Two Betting Tips

Mansfield Town registered their second away win on the trot last Saturday with a 4-3 win at Dagenham & Redbridge which followed up a 2-0 win at Stevenage which has lifted The Stags up into early play-off reckoning as they currently sit in sixth place.

Mansfield now return to their One Call Stadium this afternoon to take on Newport County who are bottom of League Two having registered just one league win all season. Despite Mansfield being involved in four draws in their first five home matches, I daresay they’ll be confident of claiming all three points in this encounter.

Mansfield’s home record stands at 1-4-0 7/3 which includes a win over Crawley Town 4-0, while potential anytime goal scorers for the hosts look like Green or Westcarr.

Visitors Newport County earned a point in last weekend’s 1-1 draw at home with Exeter City, but they still remain bottom of League Two with just 6 points to their name after a very disappointing campaign so far.

New manager Terry Butcher has recently left the club already with John Sheridan coming in to replace him. Whilst Sheridan is expected to tighten things up at the back, it may take a couple of weeks for his hard work to reflect in Newport’s results on the field.

The Exiles’ overall away record currently reads 1-1-3 1/5 with their main issue being scoring goals on their travels – Newport have failed to score in four of their five away matches to date.

With this in mind I’ll therefore back the hosts Mansfield Town to take the points in perhaps a 2-1 win.

Pick: Mansfield Town straight win @ 1.85 bet365
