Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Mansfield Town play host to Accrington Stanley at their One Call Stadium in what is a very important game for the home side. The Yellows are eyeing automatic League One promotion and they must be high on confidence following back-to-back wins over Forest Green (1-0) and MK Dons (4-1). Davis Keillor-Dunn is widely expected to return to the starting eleven after scoring a brace against the Dons.
The Accy Stanley, on the other hand, have nothing to play for in the season finale and given their poor defensive display in a 4-0 loss to Doncaster Rovers, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. All Liam Coyle, Matt Lowe, and Dan Martin are pushing for recalls as boss John Doolan is expected to shuffle his pack following the heavy defeat at Doncaster. The 55-year-old tactician should stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation.
