Doncaster vs Mansfield Town Predictions

• Doncaster Rovers have lost three games in a row and have failed to score in their last four.
• The last three meetings between these two sides have seen fewer than three goals.

Doncaster Rovers in disarray

Managerless Doncaster Rovers entertain Mansfield Town at the weekend in this FA Cup clash and the hosts will need to snap a four-match winless run if they want to progress here. That poor run of form saw Richie Wellens given his marching orders as they languish in 23rd place in League One. This competition could be a welcomed distraction and caretaker manager Gary McSheffrey will want to make a good account of himself.

Mansfield Town have been in exceptional form prior to this game, they’ve lost just one of their last five league games and it’s resulted in Nigel Clough’s side climbing up the League Two table. A victory for The Stags here will see them go into the third round of the FA Cup in successive campaigns and they’ll be confident of doing just that after winning six of their last seven games.

Mansfield Town to cause an upset

It’s a worrying time for Doncaster Rovers and we think this will be an exceptionally tough match for them, despite being in the league above Mansfield Town. We think the visitors can continue their fine form and perhaps claim a narrow 1-0 victory, but ultimately, this will be a cagey affair and fewer than three goals being scored looks likely.
