Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Crawley Town will be looking to build on a 2-1 win over Colchester United when they take on Mansfield Town on Matchday 22. The Red Devils quickly bounced back from a 3-1 loss to Notts County, with the team climbing to 11th place in the standings and they are only one point behind the playoffs berth. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of Saturday’s encounter.
The Yellows, meanwhile, aim to regain their spot in top three. Considering that Mansfield have suffered only one loss on the road this term, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. As for the visiting side, Will Swan is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in a 2-2 draw with Tranmere Rovers. It has to be noted that under 2.5 goals have been netted in three of the previous five meetings between the two clubs.
