Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Mansfield will be looking to put an end to their five-game losing run in all competitions when they take on Northampton on Matchday 31. The Yellows have been slipping down the standings week by week and, as a result, they have slim playoffs hopes. Mansfield are determined to get back on course in the League One, but Friday’s game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. There are no fresh injury worries in Nigel Clough’s team ahead of the visit of Northampton.
The Cobblers, on the other hand, defeated Huddersfield Town 3-2 in their last league match, with the team moving one step closer to securing the League One survival. Northampton, though, have recorded only two wins on the road this term, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on draw. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their last four meetings in all competitions. Defender Aaron McGowan is rated doubtful for the away team.
Highlighted Team (Mansfield):

Founded in 1897, Mansfield Town are a professional club that compete in the League 2, the English fourth tier. The Stags are well known for their yellow shirts and blue shorts, while the colour of their away kit is black. Field Mill is the club’s home ground, the stadium with the capacity of 9,186.
The venue was built back in 1861 and renovated in 1999. Chesterfield and Notts County are regarded as the club’s fiercest rivals. Mansfield Town did well to win the Football League Trophy in 1986/1987 season, with the team beating Bristol City on penalties at Wembley Stadium.
The two teams played out a 1-1 draw in the regular time, with Kevin Kent and Glyn Riley scoring for Mansfield Town and Bristol City respectively. Goalkeeper Rod Arnold is the player with most appearances as he played 513 games for the Stags in all competitions.
