Mansfield Town vs Lincoln City Predictions

Lincoln City can nick it at Mansfield Town

Lincoln are in form away from home and should be backed to continue their unbeaten run at Mansfield in League One on Saturday. Lincoln have gone six away trips without losing, while Mansfield have gone three home games without a win.

Second-placed Lincoln are 13 places above Mansfield in 15th, with the two sides separated by 26 points. Lincoln have 19 wins, eight draws and five defeats from their 32 games this season, while Mansfield have won ten, drawn nine and lost 11.

Lincoln kept up their recent winning trend with a 4-0 victory over Northampton in their last League One game on Tuesday. Ryan One scored the opener on 11 minutes, and Lincoln didn’t allow Northampton a single shot on target. The win makes it five wins in the six matches in which Lincoln have been odds-on this season.

The hosts’ struggles in front of goal are a major concern, with Mansfield failing to score in three of their last four League One matches.

They look frail defensively too, with Mansfield failing to keep a clean sheet in four of their last six League One games.

Recent form does not inspire much confidence in Mansfield, who have now gone six League One games without a win, with their last two league matches both ending in defeat.

Lincoln are the most profitable team in League One this season. Backing them to a one-point level stake in each of their 32 games would have shown a profit of 10.57 units.

They have momentum on their side at the moment, having gone 15 games without tasting defeat in League One, with six victories in their last eight. They have been winners on four of their last five away days.

Lincoln can edge this, with a 1-0 correct score in favour of the visitors looking like a decent bet. Five of Mansfield’s last six League One matches have ended with under 2.5 goals and eight of their 11 reverses this season have been by a single goal.
