Prediction: 0-2
Mansfield
After sharing the spoils with Walsall on Tuesday evening, in-form Mansfield Town will be looking to keep their playoffs hopes alive when they take on Colchester United on Matchday 29. The Yellows continue to impress in 2021, with the team recording five wins in the previous six league fixtures. Since Colchester have been anything but brilliant in the League Two of late, away win should be considered. George Lapsile misses the match with injury, with Olie Clark stepping up.
The hosts, on the other hand, have been struggling in front of goal in the second half of the season, with the team failing to score in the previous four league fixtures. Since Mansfield are brimming with confidence ahead of Saturday’s clash, we believe that punters can find value in betting on the visiting team. The likes of Stevenson, Senior, and Clampin are all pushing for a start for the hosts.
