Prediction: 2-0
Burton
Mansfield Town will be aiming to build on a 2-1 win over Barnsley when they take on Burton Albion in their first home game of the season. The Yellows suffered elimination in the EFL Cup round 1, meaning that they will be fully focused on League One in upcoming days. Important midfielder Davis Keillor-Dunn should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the EFL Cup defeat to Bolton.
The Brewers, on the other hand, have been struggling at the back at the start of the season, with the team conceding seven goals in total in back-to-back losses to Burton (2-3) and Blackpool (0-4). As Mansfield proved their worth in the season opener, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. To make things even worse for the visiting team, defender Ryan Sweeney is banned for the match following his sending off in the EFL Cup loss to Blackpool.
