Notts County vs Mansfield Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

With Notts County currently in all sorts of trouble it will come as little surprise that we are tipping Mansfield to be successful in this fixture. Given that the visitors have hardly been pulling up trees themselves however we felt the need to add a bit of a safety net, so for our tip we are backing Mansfield to win either half at 8/11 with bet365. For our correct score tip we think they will eventually get the job done and we are backing the visitors to come away with a 1-0 win, which is priced at 7/1 with the same site.

With lots happening off the field at Meadow Lane there has been plenty of column inches dedicated to the club in the Nottingham press. Unfortunately for the fans a lot of that coverage has been about the performances on the pitch rather than the takeover of the club by Alan Hardy. Former Leyton Orient boss Kevin Nolan has taken over the reigns and will be in charge for the first time this weekend. He will be tasked with turning around an awful run of form that has seen his new charges lose a club record 10 games in a row.

Mansfield come into the match with back to back victories already in their pocket but the Stags will be wary of their opponents who should be out to prove a point. When you also factor in that this is a derby match and that Mansfield have struggled on their travels this season then you can start to understand why we think that caution is the way to go when betting on this one.
