Prediction: 2-1
Crewe
Mansfield Town will look to build on a 2-0 win over Stockport County when they take on Crewe Alexandra in the League Two round 27. The Yellows have been in a fine form of late and a win over Crewe could see them climb to top position in the standings. Both Oates and Johnson limped off with injuries in the League Two derby, with both Reed and Akins being ready to step up.
The Railwaymen, on the other hand, defeated Bradford City at home thanks to Christopher Long’s goal from the penalty spot, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Mansfield, who have been in a fine form of late. As Crewe are on a four-game winless run on the road, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s showdown. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Mansfield.
