Stockport vs Mansfield Town Predictions

Hatters set for more home success

Stockport have been in strong form at Edgeley Park, securing victories in five of their last seven home matches in League One, and they can be backed to get the better of Mansfield on Saturday.

Dave Challinor’s team have been particularly consistent on home soil and will look to capitalise on that advantage against a Mansfield side who have been less reliable on their travels.

The two teams are closely matched in the League One standings, separated by just four points. Stockport are currently seventh, while Mansfield sit ninth. Both have registered ten wins this season, but Stockport’s record also includes eight draws and six losses compared to Mansfield’s four draws and eight defeats.

Mansfield lost 2-1 to Reading in their last League One away fixture on Sunday, struggling to impose themselves with just 32.8 per cent possession.

However, they bounced back with a 2-1 victory over Bolton at home on Wednesday. Despite that result, Mansfield’s away form has been a concern, and Stockport’s superior home record makes them the better bet to come out on top in this clash.

Stockport drew 1-1 with Birmingham in their last home game and before that had beaten Wrexham, Exeter, Peterborough and Bolton.

A narrow 2-1 victory for Stockport looks like the best correct-score prediction. Mansfield have suffered six one-goal defeats in League One this season, highlighting their vulnerability in closely fought contests.
