Mansfield Town vs Barnet Predictions & Betting Tips, Match Preview

Mansfield have enjoyed an excellent start to their campaign and have only suffered defeat once in their opening six league games. That excellent run of form has been recognised by the powers that be and boss Adam Murray has been added to the list of four contenders for the Sky Bet Manager of the Month for August. The Stags have yet to suffer defeat on their home turf and they’ll be looking to extend that run with a victory on Saturday.

Barnet are going to have to quickly re-focus after their last match was abandoned due to a waterlogged pitch. John Akinde had put the Bees ahead at Rodney Parade after just 23 seconds, the quickest goal of the season, but his strike will be wiped from the record books after the game was called off at half time. Barnet will be disappointed as they were on course to record only their second win of the season and with the Bees expected to struggle this season it’s three points that could prove costly come the end of the season.

It’s a fixture that Mansfield have a historical edge in and, when you add in home advantage and the form both sides have shown this season, we are quite confident in tipping a Mansfield win. There’s also a very healthy return if you bet on a Mansfield win with bet365 offering 11/10. For our correct score tip we think that the Stags will have enough strength at the back to hold off their visitors whilst also being strong enough to make the scoreline look comfortable so we are backing a 2-0 Mansfield win at 9/1 with the same site.
