Our prediction for this League 2 match:
All eyes will be on Racecourse Ground when Wrexham and Mansfield Town square off against each other in a highly-anticipated League Two game. The Dragons aim to build on a 3-1 win over Grimsby Town, but they will have a big fish to fry against the league leaders. Tim O’Connor should keep his place in the starting line-up after overcoming his injury, while experienced midfielder James McClean is back from suspension.
The Yellows, on the other hand, failed to turn their dominance into victory in a 1-1 draw with Colchester and seeing that Wrexham are a real force to be reckoned with at home, yet another share of spoils is on the cards. Both George Williams and Callum Johnson are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side, while Elliot Hewitt is widely expected to start as a substitute following eleven months on the sidelines.
