Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Mansfield Town and Newport County square off against each other at One Call Stadium in a highly-anticipated League Two game. The Yellows failed to impress in a 3-2 loss to Crawley Town, but their fine home record (4-2-0) is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Newport. Both Anthony Hartigan and Kieran Wallace have overcome their respective injuries, while Rhys Oates and Stephen McLaughlin remain in the treatment room.
The Exiles, on the other hand, recorded a morale-boosting win over Colchester, with the team putting an end to their three-game losing run in the English fourth tier. Newport County, though, have already suffered four defeats on the travels this season, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. There are no fresh selection worries in the South Wales outfit.
Highlighted Player (Jordan Bowery):
Born in Nottingham, England, on July 2, 1991, Jordan Bowery is a professional footballer who plays for Mansfield Town. Bowery played for a number of English clubs, but we should mentioned the notable ones only.
The Mansfield No. 9 was a part of the likes of Aston Villa, Bradford City, Rotherham United, and Crewe Alexandra in the past. Jordan Bowery joined the Yellows in the summer of 2020, signing for the club on a free transfer. He made his Mansfield Town debut in the League two in a goalless draw with Tranmere Rovers on September 12, 2020.
Bowery scored his first goal for the Yellows in a 2-2 draw with Leyton Orient on September 19, 2020. Centre-forward is the position that suits him the most, but he is used as both left and right winger as well. His preferred foot is right. Jordan Bowery has never played for the England national team.
