Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 19/20 @ 888sport

Looking to finish off the job in midweek and booking their place in this season’s League Two play-off final, Mansfield will make the trip to Northampton on Wednesday night.

Starting with the hosts, after getting hit with what could turn out to be a costly first-leg defeat last weekend, Northampton will know that they face a real uphill struggle here. In their 46 League Two matchups this season, they recorded 23 wins, 11 draws and 12 defeats, scoring 60 and conceding 38 in return. Managing to end the 2021/22 campaign with a points tally of 80, they eventually missed out on clinching an automatic promotion spot via their goal difference. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with that first-leg 2-1 loss a few days ago, that was Northampton’s first defeat from any of their last seven matchups. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, including that first-leg defeat over the weekend, Wednesday’s hosts have seen their last four fixtures finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, impressing while on first-leg duties a few days ago, Mansfield will simply be looking to finish off the job here. In their 46 League Two matchups this season, they recorded 22 wins, 11 draws and 13 defeats, scoring 67 and conceding 52 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 77, they finished the 2021/22 campaign sat seventh in the standings and eventually holding just a one-point buffer from dropping out of the play-off places. However, as for their recent run of results, including that 2-1 victory against Northampton last weekend, Mansfield are unbeaten in their last five League Two matchups. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, with Wednesday’s guests seeing their last three fixtures finish with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
