Cheltenham Town 8/5 to beat Mansfield Town in Tuesday’s League Two contest
Competition: League Two
Market: Cheltenham Town win
Odds: 8/5 @ 888sport
Looking to extend their stay at the top of the League Two table in midweek, Cheltenham will make the trip to a struggling Mansfield on Tuesday night.
Starting with the hosts, only continuing on what has been a hugely worrying run of form, Mansfield have found themselves freefalling down the League Two table. In their 32 fourth-tier matchups so far this season, they have recorded eight wins, 13 draws and 11 defeats, scoring 38 and conceding 43 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 37, they open the midweek fixtures sat way down in 19th and still looking over their shoulder at the drop zone. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 2-0 defeat away at Barrow over the weekend, Mansfield have suffered back-to-back losses and have collected just three points from their last six League Two matchups. More worrying for Tuesday’s hosts, it should be noted that they have managed to record just a single goal in their last five fixtures on the spin.
As for the visitors, enjoying what has been an extended purple patch, Cheltenham are still tipped as the leading contender in the promotion chase. In their 32 League Two matchups so far this season, they have recorded 17 wins, eight draws and seven defeats, scoring 44 and conceding 28 in return. Along with opening the midweek fixtures with a points tally of 59 and holding a one-point buffer at the top of the table, it should also be noted that the Robins hold the best-defensive record in the division. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 3-2 win against Port Vale over the weekend, Cheltenham have won each of their last four League Two matchups on the bounce. Given the recent gulf in class between the two sides, we’re backing the league leaders to extend on their winning run in midweek.
