Scunthorpe vs Mansfield Town Predictions

• Mansfield have won three of their last five games, keeping clean sheets in two of those wins.
• Scunthorpe have lost each of their last five and have failed to score in four of their last six.
• The Stags have won each of their last six meetings with Scunthorpe.
• The Iron have failed to score in 45% of their league home games.

Automatic promotion possible

Manfield will travel to Sunthorpe’s Glanford Park hoping to keep their promotion battle on track.

Mansfield can still dream of automatic promotion, as they currently stand three points away from the coveted third place, and with a game in hand. A game against bottom side Scunthorpe will be a welcome opportunity to return to winning ways after their defeat last time out against top-of-the-league Forest Green.

A miserable season for the Iron

Scunthorpe have had a terrible season, winning only four games and are sitting thirteen points adrift, rock bottom of the table. Barring a miracle, The Iron will be playing National League football next year for the first time since its inception. With only four wins and twenty-six goals scored all season, it’s unlikely that their run of ten games without a win will change any time soon.

Scunthorpe have lost to nil in 40% of all their home games this season, and have failed to score in 45% of them, including three of their last four.

Scunthorpe weak in the second half

Scunthorpe have conceded 64% of their goals in the second half of games, with thirty-five of the seventy-two they’ve conceded this term coming after the 60th minute. A bet on the most goals to be scored in the second half is also tempting here.
