Mansfield Town extended their unbeaten run in League One to five games overall with a 1-1 draw away from home at high-flying Bradford City in midweek which followed four previous stalemates and a 1-0 home win against Reading.
Points picked up in draws with AFC Wimbledon, Rotherham United and Barnsley have helped Nigel Clough’s side steer clear of being sucked down into the relegation battle below them but the bigger picture will still be of some concern for The Stags.
Indeed, Mansfield Town have managed to capture just one win from their last 12 league matches overall whilst being involved in no fewer than eight draws along with being dealt three defeats as well.
Mansfield Town possess a home record of 7-6-6 27/20.
Northampton Town recently fired former manager Kevin Nolan after a string of disastrous results in League One which have resulted in dropping The Cobblers well and truly amongst the thick of the relegation battle raging towards the bottom of the third tier table.
Experienced manager Colin Calderwood has taken over the reins at Sixfields Stadium and he’ll be impressing upon his new team to get a result by any means necessary as the visitors look to fight themselves out of trouble.
This could be easier said than done though as Northampton now find themselves second from bottom in the table and seven points adrift of safety while an away record of 3-4-12 13/31 looks to be against The Cobblers.
The Betting Verdict
With Mansfield Town struggling for wins though, Northampton Town stand a decent chance of picking up a point here.
The Pick :
Mansfield Town 1-1 Northampton Town
