Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Accrington and Mansfield square off against each other at the Wham Stadium in what is expected to be a close League One encounter. The Accy Stanley aim to recover from a 3-1 loss to Notts County and the fact that they defeated Harrogate in their last home fixture is giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Mansfield. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team ahead of Saturday’s encounter.
The Yellows, on the other hand, head into the match following a goalless draw with Bradford City where they had no more than one shot on target. Mansfield have drawn each of their first three away games of the process and, taking everything into account, the share of spoils is on the horizon. In their last face-off in the League Two Accrington defeated Mansfield 1-0 thanks to Seamus Conneely’s goal.
