Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Exeter City and Mansfield Town go head to head at St. James Park in what is expected to be a very exciting game. The Grecians Have been struggling on the travels of late, with the team losing each of their previous three away fixtures, but they did well to beat Salford City in their last home game. Defender Lewis Page, who suffered an injury in the 1-0 defeat to the Valiants, is unlikely to feature against Mansfield Town.
You should bear in mind that Exeter City are eyeing their 11th home win of the season. The Yellows, on the other hand, are on a six-game winless run in the League Two. Mansfield Town have been struggling in front of goal in recent weeks, and given Exeter City’s fine home record, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Nottinghamshire empty-handed.
