Both Teams To Score Prediction: Yes
Betting on the BTTS in a Mansfield match is always a tough call but this fixture shouldn't disappoint us. It is a fact that Mansfield have conceded far less than any other team at home this season – only 6 goals in 11 fixtures. But Crewe have one of the strongest attacks and their form suggests that we can expect goals. Moreover, these teams have a lot of history between them from the past few years. All five most recent games between them ended with both teams scoring goals. Every fixture has been extremely close.
Match Result Prediction: Draw
Crewe have been quite good on the road this season and suffered only 10 defeats in the last ten fixtures. Only several teams have scored more goals than them away from home and this gives us confidence that Mansfield may not win this game comfortably. The hosts are actually one of only two teams that remain undefeated at home this season. Mansfield have had 6 wins and 5 draws at home. Moreover, when we go back to the h2h history between the two teams, we can see that four of the last five games between them ended in draws too.
Correct Score Prediction: 1-1 Draw
The only reason we are not betting on a higher scoreline is Mansfield's defensive performance this season. The team has the best defense in the entire league. They have only conceded 19 goals in 24 games and this is why we believe in the 1-1 scoreline. If there are early goals, you can bet live on the 2-2 too. When we compare the Mansfield vs Crewe line ups, we definitely think that the home side has the advantage on paper. However, they have been more impressive away from home this season and Crewe are a solid visitor too.
