Our prediction for this League 2 match:

Match Time & Date:

08:00 AM
Prediction: 0-1
Mansfield
Scunthorpe United will be aiming to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Grimsby Town when they take on Mansfield Town on Matchday 20. The Iron have been struggling on the travels of late, but they did well to beat both Leyton and Barrow at home in December. The likes of Taylor and Jarvis are pushing for a start. The Yellows, on the other hand, are on a four-game winless run in the League Two ahead of Saturday’s clash.
Mansfield Town, though, have been producing fine displays on the road in the 2020/21 season, and we predict that they will make life difficult for Scunthorpe defenders on the break. Nathaniel Bowery regained a much-needed confidence thanks to his goal in a 1-1 draw with Southend, and we predict that he is going to prove a handful for the opposition back-line.
