The League 2 action keeps on coming thick and fast as Mansfield host Port Vale in what looks like an intriguing contest. Port Vale after several seasons in the football wilderness seem to have found a winning formula as they have enjoyed a fantastic start to the season and currently sit in third place. Mansfield is finding things harder and sit just outside the relegation zone in 22nd position. A win here would help breathe new life into what has been a stuttering season.

Outright
Considering the difference in league position between the two sides it's quite surprising that Port Vale who are currently third in the table have odds that are as generous as they currently are. Mansfield is on a truly dreadful run of form without a win in their last twelve, Port Vale on the other hand have won four of their last five. We think that it could be asking a lot of Mansfield to beat a team who are in such good form so the smart money has to be on Port Vale to extend their current unbeaten run.
Both teams to score
Mansfield has seen both teams score in three of their last five home matches and Port Vale have found the back of the net in their last six away games. The odds for both teams to score or not to score are the exact same and we would prefer to back on an open game rather than a cagey one so will be playing the both teams to score market here.
Over 2.5 goals
It isn't a surprise to see that Mansfield have one of the worst defensive records in the league and Port Vale have the worst defensive record out of all the teams in the top half of the table. Both of these teams have had a short turnaround to play this game and this could be a game where fatigue sets in towards the end of the game. We like the over 2.5 goal market here and hope that this is an open game.
