62% of Mansfield’s home games have seen both teams score
62% of Northampton’s away games have seen both teams score
Close affair should see both teams score at the One Call Stadium
Out-of-form Mansfield take on Northampton this Friday evening. Just a few weeks ago, The Stags looked like potential playoff contenders, but a poor run has seen them stagnate, making that now seem unlikely. Northampton’s primary focus is avoiding relegation, and last week’s win against playoff-chasing Huddersfield would have given them a massive boost.
Based on recent form, this looks like a close contest that could go either way. Both teams have a high percentage of games where both sides find the net, making Both Teams to Score the standout betting option here.
Northampton can capitalise on poor Mansfield form
Mansfield arrive as odds-on favourites, and a month ago, that would have been unquestionable. However, their recent form is a major concern. While a home win wouldn’t be a surprise, this game could be much closer than the odds suggest. Northampton are capable of causing an upset, and at 14/1, a 2-1 away win looks big enough for a small bet.
