Prediction: 2-1
Mansfield
After sharing the spoils with Newport County in their last league match, Crawley Town will look to return to winning ways when they host Mansfield Town to their People’s Pension Stadium on Matchday 19. The Red Devils failed to win the previous four home fixtures in the League Two, but this game could be the turning point for the home side. A man to watch in the home team will be Ghana international Kwesi Appiah, who has been in a fine form of late.
The Yellows, on the other hand, failed to extend their winning run to four games on Tuesday evening, with Sutton putting an end to their winning streak. Mansfield Town midfielder George Lapslie is pushing for a start, while Nathaniel Bowery should continue to lead the line for the visitors. Anyhow, the hosts want this win more than the visitors, and we predict that John Yems’ troops are going to pick up all three points from the match.
