Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Swindon play host to Mansfield at their County Ground in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Saturday’s program. The Robins aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Salford Citybut this game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home team. Jack Payne, who scored the winner at the weekend, will be one of the men to watch in the home team.
The Yellows, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 3-2 loss to Bradford City. Since both sides are likely to go for a win in Saturday’s clash, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Swindon Town defenders should have Olivier Hawkins at bay as the experienced attacker scored a brace at the weekend.
