Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Mansfield Town and Exeter square off against each other at One Call Stadium in the opening game of round 35. The Yellows did well to beat Bradford City at the weekend, with the team climb to the playoffs berth. Mansfield Town are determined to secure a top-seven finish, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Friday’s game.
Both Rhys Oates and George Maris are rated doubtful for the home side, while centre-backs Oli Hawkins and John-Joe O’Toole are back from suspension. Exeter, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late. Following four consecutive league wins, the visitors shared the spoils with Bristol Rovers on Matchday 34, and they are surely capable of holding Mansfield to a draw. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Nottinghamshire.
Highlighted Player (Jordan Bowery):
Born in Nottingham, England, on July 2, 1991, Jordan Bowery is a professional footballer who plays for Mansfield Town. Bowery played for a number of English clubs, but we should mentioned the notable ones only.
The Mansfield No. 9 was a part of the likes of Aston Villa, Bradford City, Rotherham United, and Crewe Alexandra in the past. Jordan Bowery joined the Yellows in the summer of 2020, signing for the club on a free transfer. He made his Mansfield Town debut in the League two in a goalless draw with Tranmere Rovers on September 12, 2020.
Bowery scored his first goal for the Yellows in a 2-2 draw with Leyton Orient on September 19, 2020. Centre-forward is the position that suits him the most, but he is used as both left and right winger as well. His preferred foot is right. Jordan Bowery has never played for the England national team.
Highlighted Team (Exeter):
Nicknamed the Grecians, Exeter City are a professional football club that welcome their rivals at St. James Park. The stadium was opened in September 1904, and it can hold up to 8,696 spectators. Exeter City play their homes in white jerseys with red stripes, and black shorts, while violet and yellow are the dominant colours of their away kit.
The Grecians made it to the FA Cup quarter-finals on two occasions (1930/31, 1980/81), with the team advancing to the FA Trophy semis in the 2005/06 season. The likes of Harry Gee, Cliff Bastin, Maurice Setters, Dick Pym, Fred Whitlow, Arnold Mitchell, Tony Kellow, Fred Binney, Darran Rowbotham, Lee Sharp, and David Pleat are one of the most notable footballers who played for Exeter City in the past.
Plymouth Argyle, Torquay United, Bristol Rovers, and Yeovil Town are considered the club’s fiercest rivals. The Grecians currently compete in the League Two.
