It is some League Two football betting action that we take a look at in this one as some midweek action kicks off.
Mansfield are in red-hot form at the moment in the division and will be searching for further points to keep them in touch with the playoff positions.
But this is a tricky one as they face a Swindon team who are lodged in those playoff spots. It’s a big one for both.

There has been a tremendous amount of positive form produced by Mansfield recently in the league.
The Stags have won seven of their last eight matches (L1) and are currently on a four-match winning streak.
Mansfield have rattled off a five-match winning streak at home as well.
All of this has happened after a dire run of league form by them when they had gone winless in twelve.
But Mansfield are the 7/4 underdogs for this match despite all that current form* (odds recorded 21:26 GMT on January 9th 2022 at 888Sport).
They, however, look like they warrant some respect.
Mansfield are unbeaten at home this season against teams currently in the top half of the table (W3 D1).
In this current streak of form, they took a 2-0 win over Tranmere, who are currently sitting in second place.
The Stags have scored at least two goals in four of their last five home matches.
There are question marks over their defence as they have taken one clean sheet in their last seven only.
But their current momentum can’t be ignored at all.
They will look to balance the books against Swindon after losing 1-0 away to them earlier this season.
Mansfield do have a bit of home form against Swindon with a W2 D1 L1 record in their last four.
Five of the seven home wins that the Stags have taken this season in League Two have been by a one-goal margin.
A Mansfield 1 goal winning margin selection for football betting is at 10/3* (odds recorded 21:26 GMT on January 9th 2022 at 888Sport).
They have hit the back of the net in each of their last six home games.
Only Tranmere currently boast a better home record than the Stags currently do in the division.
Swindon Preview – Can the Robins past stern road test?
Swindon are not in bad shape as it stands either with four wins in their last eight (D2 L2).
But narrowing that down, a win at home over Northampton on New Year’s Day is their only win in their last five.
Swindon are in the playoff picture at the moment in League Two.
The bulk of their successes have come away from home.
Swindon have a very good W7 D2 L2 record on their league travels this season.
So that’s why they are at 6/4 in the match outright because their road record suggests that they pose a threat* (odds recorded 21:26 GMT on January 9th 2022 at 888Sport).
But there is a counter to that.
Swindon have lost their last two away games, going down at Barrow and Leyton Orient.
The Robins conceded at least two goals in both of those matches.
Will they be able to get back on track?
