Mansfield Town vs Morecambe Predictions

At this stage of the season the fixture list can throw up plenty of entertaining fixtures, with clashes affecting the title race, the play-off picture or the battle to stay in the league. The clash on Good Friday between Mansfield Town and Morecambe displays exactly that as, although the visitors have little left to play for, the hosts are still battling hard to ensure they avoid the lottery of the play-offs in their bid to win a spot in League One next season.

Mansfield Town were well fancied by many punters to do well this season so it should be no surprise to see them in a position which puts them on the verge of winning promotion to England’s third tier. The Stags are currently in third position but they go into this clash knowing that they will need to improve on their indifferent form of late if they are going to fend off the challenge of the likes of Tranmere, Bury and the MK Dons and secure that elusive automatic promotion spot.

At the start of the season Morecambe were tipped by many to finally suffer what is seemingly their inevitable drop into the National League, but the perennial strugglers have once again proven that they are well up for the fight and their place in the Football League is all but secure for another season. The Shrimps have been solid on home soil of late and this run has meant that they have put enough daylight between themselves and the bottom two in order to ensure they are mathematically safe for another season.

It appears complacency is the only thing which will stand in the way of a routine Mansfield win in this fixture and they are excellent on home soil and sides often struggle to even score at Field Mill, nevermind earn the three points. When you also consider their visitors are not exactly known for their abilities on the road, then backing a home win seems like the only sensible option.
