Bolton look to extend their excellent home run after a hard-fought 2-1 Boxing Day victory over Rotherham and given Mansfield's defensive struggles, our prediction points toward a 2-1 home win. The Trotters have been exceptionally strong at the Toughsheet Stadium, scoring 2.20 goals per home match and keeping 60% clean sheets. Their overall expected goals numbers (1.90 overall, 2.14 at home) also reflect consistent attacking productivity. Forward Victor Adeboyejo remains sidelined, but as shown on Boxing Day, Bolton coped well without him.
Mansfield, meanwhile, head into Monday's clash boosted by a thrilling 3-2 away win at Barnsley, though their form remains inconsistent, picking up just 0.80 points per game across their last five outings. The Yellows’ defensive issues persist, conceding exactly 2.00 goals per game both home and away, while their xGA sits high at 1.70 overall. They do, however, carry attacking threat, scoring in 75% of recent away fixtures. Importantly, Mansfield report no fresh injuries, maintaining squad stability ahead of this tricky trip.
Considering Bolton's excellent home numbers (80% home win rate) and Mansfield's shaky defence, Home Win is our main betting tip for this League One encounter, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (both teams over 3.0 average total goals per game.)
This League 1 match will be played on Monday 29 December 2025 at 19:45.
