Prediction: 2-1
Salford
Mansfield Town will be aiming to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Walsall when they take on Salford City in the League Two round 35. The Yellows aim to overtake Stockport County in top position in the standings and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Lions. Anyhow, the fact that Mansfield rolled over Harrogate 9-2 in their last home game is giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Salford.
The visitors, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous four league matches, but Mansfield will pose a much bigger threat for Karl Robinson’s troops. In the first half of the season the Yellows defeated the Lions 2-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. A man to watch in the away team will be attacking midfielder Callum Hendry, who scored a brace in the triumph over Barrow.
