Mansfield vs Crawley tips and predictions

Mansfield criminally short price

Of course Mansfield are certainly the superior side but even if they win 8-nil, there is no value in backing them.

Of course the hosts are widely expected to win comfortably but they are not unbeatable. Mansfield have to show no hesitation clearing their lines. They need to tighten things up. Conceding an average of 1.7 goals across their latest 11 games on their own turf has given them pause for thought. Mansfield's strikers have been under scrutiny. They've netted just 1 goal in their latest 4 games.

While they are facing a massive task there is still some logic in liking the chances for an away win at the big price. Crawley have actually won 3 of their last 5 campaigns. Impressively, they've scored at least once in all of their last 5 games which is something they'll have to add to, to have any chance of making things happen for them here. Their recent defensive prowess could be a key for them too. They have conceded no more than once in all of their last 5 matches.

There's also a pretty low rated separate bet in the BTTS Yes market.
