Peterborough will be aiming to get backo on course when they face Mansfield Town in League One round two. As Mansfield seem to be at the top of their game at the start of the season, we predict a 2-1 away win. The Posh suffered a 2-0 defeat to Bradford City in their opener, managing only seven attempts and 1.10 xG. Their recent form is a major concern, with just one win in their last 10 matches and none in their previous six at home. Defender David Okagbue will miss out through suspension after his red card against Bradford.
Mansfield, meanwhile, made a winning start by beating Doncaster 2-1. The Yellows have collected 15 points from their last 10 matches and have been particularly strong defensively away from home, keeping clean sheets in 60% of their last five away games. Luke Bolton remains sidelined, but Nigel Clough has no fresh injury concerns.
Peterborough are winless in their last six home games and given Mansfield's fine start to the season, Away Win should be considered, alongside Mansfield Over 1.5 and Over 1.5 goals total (80% H2H).
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 22 August 2026 at 15:00.
