Saturday 21st February 2026, 1500hrs (GMT)
A 1-0 loss away from home at Blackpool in midweek in the English third tier resulted in Mansfield Town continuing to tread water in the bottom half of the League One table where Nigel Clough’s side occupy 15th place in the standings.
Mansfield Town had previously dumped Premier League outfit Burnley out of the 4th round of the FA Cup thanks to a 2-1 win away from home at Turf Moor which followed slipping to just one defeat in their preceding 10 matches overall.
That loss came in the form of a 2-1 loss at home to Peterborough United but also included five wins along with being involved in four draws as well, so the hosts have suffered just two defeats in their last 12 matches in all competitions.
Lincoln City maintained their relentless pursuit of automatic promotion up into the Championship in midweek by inflicting a comprehensive 4-0 thumping of Northampton Town at Sincil Bank, handing the visitors an eight-point cushion over 3rd placed Bolton Wanderers.
The visitors head into Saturday afternoon’s encounter at the One Call Stadium on the back of an impressive 14-match unbeaten sequence which includes picking up no fewer than 10 wins in the process.
An away record of 7-4-4 21/16 has given Michael Skubala’s side the second-best record on the road in the division to date and this will give The Imps a timely boost ahead of this weekend’s fixtures in the domestic third tier.
The Betting Verdict
Mansfield Town managed to hold Lincoln City to a 1-1 draw away from home at Sincil Bank earlier in the campaign and Saturday’s hosts might put up stubborn resistance once again at the One Call Stadium.
The Pick :
Mansfield Town 1-1 Lincoln City
