Mansfield Town Prediction
Having recently suffered back-to-back defeats in the league to Carlisle United and Yeovil Town, Mansfield Town will be desperate to return to winning ways this evening, especially as this is the only fixture being played in the fourth tier, thus giving Mansfield a chance to play catch-up.
The hosts still remain in the play-off pack, sitting in 5th place and The Stags have the added incentive of knowing that all three points in tonight’s encounter with Crawley Town would see Mansfield jump into one of the automatic promotion spots, in 3rd place.
With a fairly solid looking home record of 7-4-2 18/7, this looks to be on the cards for Mansfield who had previously strung together four wins on the trot with victories against Grimsby Town, Port Vale, Notts County and Bury.
Forwards Walker (12 goals) and Rose (4 goals) look the most likely for the hosts here.
- Mansfield Town can jump into 3rd place with a win here
- Mansfield have lost just once in their last 9 home matches
- Crawley Town have lost 8 of their last 9 on their travels
Crawley Town Prediction
Crawley Town have posted some mixed results in recent weeks in League Two as they’ve gained wins over Colchester United and Cheltenham Town, but have also lost to Cambridge United and Stevenage.
Importantly, it’s worth mentioning that Crawley’s two wins both came at their People’s Pension Stadium while their two defeats were both registered away from home. Now turning to Crawley Town’s form away from home, the visitors have lost 8 of their last 9 on their travels.
It’s therefore unsurprising that the Red Devils possess a poor away record of 2-1-10 8/22, while the bigger picture tells us that Crawley have actually lost 10 of their last 12 away matches, so confidence isn’t likely to be high for the visitors when they make their way up to Mansfield on Tuesday night.
Betting Tips Verdict
Mansfield Town have a great chance to redeem themselves in this one.
