Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Mansfield Town and Blackpool take on each other at One Call Stadium in what is expected to be a close League One game. The Yellows look unstoppable at the moment, with the team eyeing their fifth consecutive league win, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Australia forward Ben Waine should once again start from the bench despite sealing the victory at Crawley, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Seasiders, on the other hand, shared the spoils with Lincoln on Tuesday evening following four consecutive league wins. As Blackpool and Mansfield seem to be evenly matched at the moment, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Blackpool defender Hayden Coulson limped off with injury in the midweek draw, with James Husband likely to step up.
