Prediction: 1-1
Birmingham City
Mansfield Town will be aiming to build on a 2-1 win over Wigan Athletic when they take on Birmingham City in the League One round 14. The Yellows quickly bounced back from a 1-0 loss to Stevenage, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to secure automatic promotion. Bearing any fresh injury worries, Nigel Clough is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Latics on Tuesday evening.
The Blues, on the other hand, are leading the standings ahead of Saturday’s encounter. The league leaders aim to build on back-to-back wins over Lincoln (3-1) and Bolton (2-0), but seeing that Mansfield are tough to beat at home, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Birmingham City midfielder Emil Hansson limped off with injury in the midweek triumph, with Marc Leonard likely to step up.
