Walsall to get the win

Walsall should be able to recover quickly from the recent setback against Stockport, who have been one of the top teams in the division over the last few weeks. Mansfield have also come down quite well to sustain a place in the play-offs for a major chunk of the campaign. Mansfield are looking to do the double over Walsall and they have also managed back-to-back wins over this opponent. Yet, the Poundland Bescot Stadium is expected to be the difference in this encounter with Walsall only losing three matches at home this season.

Both teams to score – yes

Mansfield are a very difficult opponent in a way matches. Manager Nigel Clough has been able to witness the team getting wins in 50% of the away games. Walsall have to work hard for three points and that have been goals at both ends in three out of the last five games for the team.
