Mansfield Town vs Peterborough Predictions

• Both teams have scored in seven of Mansfield’s last eight games.
• Both teams have scored in five of Peterborough’s last seven.
• Posh have played out three consecutive 1-1 draws.

Little on the line at Field Mill

It has been a season to forget for both Mansfield Town and Peterborough ahead of Wednesday’s dead-rubber League One meeting at Field Mill.

Peterborough were rated as potential promotion contenders before the campaign began but their season never really got going and they come into Thursday’s game in 17th spot.

Mansfield lost just two of their opening 12 games but have 20 defeats in 32 League One fixtures since and are five points above the drop zone.

Neither side can be relegated so there is little at stake other than pride in this midweek clash but there is a chance we may at least get a few goals and backing both teams to score appeals.

There have been goals at both ends in seven of the Stags’ last eight games and they have managed just one shut-out in their last 25 games across all competitions, a run stretching back to their 3-0 win in the reverse fixture.

Peterborough are the team in better form and there have been goals at both ends in five of their last seven games. Clean sheets have also been an issue for Posh and they’ve conceded in seven consecutive League One outings.

Peterborough have drawn their last three games 1-1 but they might be able to sneak a win here and a 2-1 away win has a chance. Posh have actually been better on their travels recently with just one defeat in their last nine trips across all competitions, and three wins in their last five, while Mansfield have nine defeats in their last 11 at home.
