Mansfield will look to bounce back after a mixed run of form, but given Bolton's fine form, we predict a 2-1 away win. The Yellows will hope that midfielder Jamie McDonnell, who picked up a knock in the FA Cup win over Peterborough at the weekend, can recover in time, as he is currently rated doubtful. At home, Mansfield have been more competitive, scoring 1.8 goals per game in their last five home matches, while conceding 1.6 on average.
Bolton arrive in strong form, unbeaten in 4 of their last 5 League One fixtures. The Trotters will miss influential midfielder Xavier Simons due to suspension, but their depth allows them to remain a potent threat. Bolton have scored an average of 2 goals per game on the road and kept a clean sheet in 80% of their recent home outings, highlighting their defensive stability.
H2H meetings between the sides have produced goals, with all five of their last encounters featuring both teams scoring. Expect an open, attacking contest, with big value on BTTS and Over 2.5 goals. Over 9.5 corners market seem interesting as well.
This League 1 match will be played on Tuesday 9 December 2025 at 19:45.
