Prediction: 1-1
Mansfield
A spot in the League Two playoffs final will be at stake when Northampton and Manfield face each other at Sixfields Stadium. The Cobblers aim to overcome a one-goal deficit in the tie with the Yellows, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in the return leg. First-choice goalkeeper Liam Roberts is back from suspension, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Yellows, on the other hand, are likely to adopt a cautious approach in the return leg as they aim to defend their slim lead at Sixfields Stadium. Anyhow, a close match is on the cards, and we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Nigel Clough is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Northampton Town in the first leg. The attacking partnership of Rhys Oates and Nathaniel Bowery has been in a perfect working order of late, and the duo is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line.
