Prediction: 1-1
Mansfield
Tuesday’s postponed fixture at Spotland Stadium pits together Rochdale and Mansfield Town, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. Rochdale sit in 19th place in the standings, nine points clear of the relegation zone, and they are eager to put an end to their five-game winless run. All Josh Andrews, Paul Downing, and Max Taylor remain on the sidelines with injuries, but there are no fresh selection worries in the home team.
The Yellows, on the other hand, aim to keep their playoffs hopes alive. Considering that both sides will go for a win in the midweek clash, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on both teams to score. Attacker Lucas Akins continues to miss out through injury, with Rhys Oates keeping his place up front alongside Kieran Wallace.
