Mansfield
Saturday’s football game at the New Lawn pits together Forest Green and Mansfield, the two teams with entirely different ambitions in the 2020/21 League Two season. Forest Green are eyeing promotion to the League One, while Mansfield’s main goal is to avoid relegation to the National League. The Green Army suffered a 6-2 loss to Lincoln in the FA Cup at the weekend, but it has to be noted that several first-team regulars were rested in the LNER Stadium clash.
Forest Green have been impressive at their New Lawn stadium of late, with the team eyeing their fifth consecutive win at home in the League Two. The Yellows, on the other hand, did well to shock Sunderland in the FA Cup at the weekend, but given their anything but good results in the league in the first half of the season, home win should definitely be considered.
