Our prediction for this League 1 match:
All eyes will be on One Call Stadium when Mansfield Town and Stockport County face each other in a an eagerly-awaited League One game. The Yellows aim to recover from a massive 4-1 loss to Lincoln, but they will have a mountain to climb against the league leaders. Louis Reed is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last league match, with Ben Quinn being ready to step up.
The Hatters, on the other hand, aim to keep their 100% record intact. The league leaders made a flying start to the season and given their brilliant defensive record, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the promotion hopefuls. In their last meeting in the League One Mansfield defeated Stockport 2-0, meaning that the visitors are hungry for revenge. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
Highlighted Team (Mansfield):
Founded in 1897, Mansfield Town are a professional club that compete in the League 2, the English fourth tier. The Stags are well known for their yellow shirts and blue shorts, while the colour of their away kit is black. Field Mill is the club’s home ground, the stadium with the capacity of 9,186.
The venue was built back in 1861 and renovated in 1999. Chesterfield and Notts County are regarded as the club’s fiercest rivals. Mansfield Town did well to win the Football League Trophy in 1986/1987 season, with the team beating Bristol City on penalties at Wembley Stadium.
The two teams played out a 1-1 draw in the regular time, with Kevin Kent and Glyn Riley scoring for Mansfield Town and Bristol City respectively. Goalkeeper Rod Arnold is the player with most appearances as he played 513 games for the Stags in all competitions.
