Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Mansfield Town will be aiming to overtake Stockport County in top position in the standings when they take on Accrington on Monday afternoon. The Yellows failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Wrexham, but they are surely capable of beating the Accy Stanley in front of home fans. Elliott Hewitt suffered an injury in the last league match, with Stephen McLaughlin likely to step up, while all George Williams, Calum Macdonald, and Callum Johnson remain in the recovery room.
The Accy Stanley, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Sutton and Morecambe. As Accrington have little to play for in the season finale, we predict that the promotion-chasing hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. Both Jay Rich-Baghuelou and Matt Lowe are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the visiting side.
