Prediction: 1-1
Crawley
Mansfield Town will be aiming to move one step towards automatic promotion when they take on Crawley Town at their One Call Stadium. The Yellows were not in action on Monday as their clash with Accrington was postponed due to waterlogged pitch, meaning that tired legs should not prove to be a big problem for the home side. Elliot Hewitt has joined the likes of George Williams, Callum Johnson, and Callum MacDonald in the recovery room, with Stephen McLaughlin returning to the starting XI.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 4-0 win over Newport County. Crawley Town are on a three-game winning run on the road, but beating Mansfield on the road is easier said than accomplished. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. With no fresh injury worries to report, Scott Lindsey is unlikely to make changes to the team that rolled over the Exiles on Monday.
Highlighted Player (Lucas Akins):
After making his first football steps in Huddersfield Town youth academy, Lucas Akins made his first-team debut against Northampton Town as he came as a substitute to replace Luke Beckett. However, he made no more than five appearances for Huddersfield Town as he was sent on loan to Nortwich Victoria.
After spending two seasons at Hamilton Academical, the winger, who was born on 25 February 1989, joined Tranmere Rovers in July, 2010. Lucas Atkins scored 7 goals in 77 appearances for the club and in 2012 he signed a contract with Stevenage. The English footballer played 77 league games for the Boro and he scored 13 goals for the club.
During the 2013/2014 campaign he was on Burton Albion’s radar and at the end of the season he joined the Pirelli Stadium outfit. Lucas Atkins enjoys playing football, but dancing is considered his passion as well. His main position is right wing, but he plays as both centre forward and left winger as well.
Highlighted Team (Crawley):
Crawley Town are an English football club that compete in the League 2. The club was founded back in 1896 and in the 2011/2012 season they secured promotion to the English fourth tier for the first time. The Devils play their home games at Broadfield Stadium, the venue which was built and opened in 1997.
The stadium has a capacity of 6,144 spectators and is owned by Crawley Borough Council. Crawley Town are well known for their red home kit, with the team wearing white shirts and sky blue shorts when playing on the travels. Crawley Town fans consider AFC Wimbledon the club’s biggest rivals, but they have rivalries with Brighton and Swindon Town as well.
In 1959 the Devils won the Metropolitan League Cup, which is considered one of the club’s biggest successes. Crawley Town won the Sussex Professional Cup in 1970, the Gilbert Rice Floodlight Cup in 1980 and 1984, the Southern Counties Combination Floodlight Cup in 1986, and the Sussex Senior Cup in 1990 and 1991.
