Prediction: 1-2
Mansfield
Sutton will look to recover from a massive 8-0 loss to Stockport County when they take on Mansfield Town in the League Two round 23. Sutton experienced all sorts of problems at the back against the league leaders, but it has to be noted that they are undefeated in the previous five home games in all competitions. Both Milsom and Clay are pushing for a start after the duo came off the bench in the last league fixture.
The Yellows, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Crawley Town and given Sutton’s shaky defence, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting side. With no fresh injury worries to report, Mansfield head coach Nigel Clough is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Red Devils in the last league match.
