Mansfield Town Form
Shrewsbury Form
The upcoming League One fixture between Mansfield Town and Shrewsbury Town is set to take place on Saturday at 15:00. Mansfield will host the match at the One Call Stadium. Mansfield Town are currently 8th in the table and will hope to strengthen their position, while Shrewsbury, who are languishing in 23rd, will be desperate to reverse their poor form. We’ll provide Mansfield Town vs Shrewsbury Town betting tips throughout this preview.
Mansfield Town enters this match in stronger form, having accumulated 8 points from 5 games, with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss. They’ve been relatively effective offensively, scoring 9 goals, but their defence has been shaky with 10 goals conceded. Nigel Clough’s side will be determined to tighten up defensively and use home advantage against a struggling Shrewsbury team.
Shrewsbury Town’s start to the season has been dismal, with just 3 points and a single win to their name. Manager Paul Hurst is under pressure as the team has only managed 4 goals while conceding 10, and their away form is particularly concerning with two losses from both away games where they failed to get on the scoreboard. Shrewsbury’s poor performances away from home leave them vulnerable, making our Mansfield Town vs Shrewsbury Town betting tips lean toward a home win.
Given Mansfield’s solid start to the season and Shrewsbury’s ongoing struggles, it’s likely Mansfield will walk away with all three points. Mansfield has shown attacking flair at home, while Shrewsbury’s weak defence on the road have cost them dearly. Although Shrewsbury won the last direct encounter 2-0, their current form suggests Mansfield is better poised to secure the win this time round. Expect Mansfield to edge out Shrewsbury in this closely contested game.
Match Prediction: Mansfield Town To Win @ 4/6 with bet365.
For those looking at Mansfield Town vs Shrewsbury Town score tips, a 2-1 win for Mansfield seems the most plausible outcome. Mansfield’s ability to score, combined with Shrewsbury’s leaky defence points toward a game in which Mansfield dominates the scoreline, especially with their home advantage giving them a further edge. However, Mansfield has conceded in most games, and if we take into consideration their previous encounter, we can expect Shrewsbury to sneak a goal.
Correct Score Prediction: Mansfield Town 2-1 @ 15/2 with bet365.
For Over/Under betting tips, the total goals prediction leans toward an Over 2.5 outcome. Mansfield has seen a fair number of goals in their matches, scoring 9 and conceding 10 in just 5 games. Shrewsbury’s defensive woes add to the likelihood of a high-scoring affair, especially considering Mansfield’s home advantage. Therefore, an Over 2.5 goals bet offers a solid value for this match.
Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals @ 7/10 with bet365.
For those looking to combine multiple outcomes, our bet builder tip is to back Mansfield Town, Over 2 Goals, and Lee Gregory to score anytime. With Mansfield in better form and Shrewsbury struggling, a home win looks promising.
