Peterborough vs Mansfield Town Predictions

• Peterborough have failed to win in their last seven games
• However, Posh are a point shy of securing League One survival
• The hosts have conceded in 16 of their last 17 games, while scoring in 12 in a row
• Mansfield have lost only once in their previous 13 league games

Posh may need to grind

Peterborough aren’t yet safe from the threat of relegation, with the League One campaign wrapping up this weekend. However, a point in Tuesday’s encounter with Mansfield would spare any final-day nerves, but that would require an improved display from the hosts.

Posh have failed to win in seven, losing four of their last six league matches. A 3-1 defeat at Stockport at the weekend left them within three points of fourth-bottom Exeter, and the goal difference swing of four isn’t out of the question, given their issues at the back.

Peterborough have kept one clean sheet in their last 17 matches, while they’ve shipped 10 goals across their last four starts. Their underlying numbers are also poor in that run, so shutting up shop and playing for a 0-0 might be beyond them.

Manfield have won back-to-back games on the road ahead of this trip, and they’ve suffered only one defeat across their previous 13 League One games. With midtable safety secured, they’ve scored seven times across their last three games.

Mansfield’s record away to the bottom nine this term is just one win from eight, while Posh have claimed only three home wins against sides placed higher than 16th. The hosts have scored in 12 straight League One games, and seven consecutive home matches, so a score draw is the standout option in Tuesday’s clash.
