Mansfield are brimming with confidence following a 1-0 win over Bolton, but with Bradford being in a fine form of late, our prediction leans toward a 1-0 away win. The Yellows have struggled at home this season, failing to win in their last three home fixtures and averaging just 0.67 goals per game at Field Mill. Their matches have been fairly open, with BTTS occurring in 67% of home games. Mansfield boss Nigel Clough has a full squad to choose from.
Bradford City, on the other hand, have been producing fine performances in the year finale, winning 80% of their home games this season. The Bantams have averaged 1.4 goals at home while conceding only 0.6, highlighting their defensive solidity. On the road, they are less consistent but remain a threat. Both Pennington and Richards injured for Bradford, but they were not missed in a 1-0 win over Port Vale.
Historically, Bradford have had the upper hand, winning 6 of the last 11 meetings against Mansfield, with over 1.5 goals in 9 of 11 encounters. Given the Bantams' recent form and H2H advantage, Away Win should be considered, alongside Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals due to Mansfield’s low home scoring and Bradford’s solid defence.
This League 1 match will be played on Thursday 1 January 2026 at 15:00.
