Prediction: 2-1
Walsall
Buoyed by a 3-2 win over Swindon Town, Mansfield Town will look to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Walsall on Matchday 27. The Yellows are eyeing their sixth consecutive league win, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to watch in the home team will be Nathaniel Bowery, who impressed in the last league match (goal and assist).
The Saddlers, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 3-1 loss to Stevenage. Walsall have been struggling at the back of late, and seeing that they conceded nine goals in total in the previous three league fixtures, punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on Mansfield. Matthew Taylor should stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation with George Miller up front as a lone forward.

Crystal Palace centre-back Scott Dann is one of the most notable footballers who played for the Bescot Stadium.
