Mansfield Town win
Nigel Clough will be keen to make home advantage count in this game with Mansfield dropping crucial points in the game against Colchester United. Bradford City have been doing exactly the same with back-to-back home wins, but a trip to face Mansfield in a great run of form will be a tough test for Derek Adams. It is quite likely that Bradford might settle for a point, but Mansfield have the potential to push and get a win.
Total goals over 2.5
Both teams have been in goalscoring form coming into the game. In the early stages of the campaign, both teams have managed almost 2 goals per game. The defensive record opening up by these two teams are almost similar as well. In the last three meetings between these two clubs, there have been over 2.5 goals in two matches.
Both teams to score – yes
This is a game between two teams who are likely to be challenging for promotion at the end of the campaign. Both are likely to be going for the win and this should ensure goals at both ends.
