Mansfield Town vs Swindon Predictions

• Both teams have scored in five of Mansfield’s last six games.
• Swindon have shipped 12 goals in their last five games, but only one League Two side has more away goals than the Robins this season.
• Mansfield have netted 13 goals in their last six matches.

Expect goals at Field Mill

Mansfield are one of League Two’s most in-form outfits, winning their last four league clashes. The Stags had won five on the spin, in all competitions, before a thrilling 3-2 FA Cup loss to Championship side Middlesbrough.

Mansfield have scored 13 goals in their last six games, but conceded in all but one of them. Although the Nottinghamshire club are chasing a play-off place, 11 fourth-tier clubs have better defensive records than Nigel Clough’s men this term.

Their midweek visitors Swindon have also been involved in some goal-laden clashes of late; prior to their 4-1 cup loss to Manchester City, the Robins defeated Northampton 5-2. Swindon’s away record is the second best in the division, and only league leaders Forest Green Rovers can better their return of 19 goals on their travels.

Stags and Robins should both net

Just five points separate the two sides as the League Two season reaches the halfway mark. With their attacking records in mind, we’re backing both teams to net as our primary tip, which would be the first such occurrence for six head-to-head meetings.

Swindon have actually lost their last two away games, and considering Mansfield’s excellent recent form, backing the hosts for a 2-1 victory could be a decent correct score prediction.
