Mansfield vs. Stevenage – Betting Analysis
Even though the Boro have only managed 30 points from 22 home games this season, and just 14 from 21 away games, their recent record should give them confidence going into this game. Now facing Mansfield and Carlisle United on the road before concluding the season at Salford, Evans’ side will aim to finish above Barrow in 21st.
Mansfield needs the points to keep their playoff hopes alive, and we predict the home team to win on Tuesday. Now that Stevenage is off the hook, we expect Clough’s side to cruise to a two-goal victory.
