Prediction: 2-2
Mansfield
Bristol Rovers and Mansfield Town square off against each other at Memorial Stadium in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Saturday’s program. The Pirates failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Oldham Athletic, with Sam Nicholson scoring a consolation goal. The Scotland midfielder should be recalled to the starting XI instead of Anthony Evans, who limped off with injury in the midweek defeat.
The Yellows, on the other hand, have been in a fine form in 2022, with the team winning nine of their last ten league fixtures. Considering that Mansfield are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Nathaniel Bowery is widely expected to return to the starting XI after finding the net for the Yellows in the midweek triumph.
Highlighted Player (Glenn Whelan):
Probably one of the most underrated footballers in Premier League history, Glenn Whelan was born on 13 January 1982 in Dublin and he went on to enjoy a very successful career on club and international level.
Following spells with Manchester City, Bury and Sheffield Wednesday, the defensive midfielder found his peace at the Britannia Stadium, making over 250 Premier League appearances for Stoke City and keeping his place in the side under both Tony Pulis and Mark Hughes. Predominantly focused on doing the dirty defensive work and helping out the back four, Whelan never quite made the headlines for his style of play or quality of his displays, but remained an important player for both club and country.
The midfielder has so far made over 70 appearances for the Republic of Ireland national team, wearing the captain’s armband on several occasions, and starting all three group games at the Euro 2012 finals, while helping The Green Army qualify for the Euro 2016 as well.
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.
