There’s a massive top of the table clash in League One this weekend as fourth-placed Mansfield Town host table-topping Birmingham City at the One Call Stadium. Can Nigel Clough’s Stags close the gap on Chris Davies’ Blues? Let’s check out our match prediction to see what the data suggests!
Mansfield Town will be looking to try and banish the memory of their last home game, which saw them lose 1-0 to Stevenage last weekend. However, they bounced back well in midweek, heading to Wigan and coming away with a creditable 2-1 win against the Latics.
Strangely, their home form hasn’t been as strong as their away as they have nabbed 12 points from five away games and just eleven points from six at home.
Birmingham City bounced back from their first defeat of the season, 1-0 at Charlton, with two excellent performances in the past week.
They travelled to Lincoln last weekend and earned a comprehensive 3-1 win over the Imps and then in midweek faced Bolton at St. Andrews and emerged with a 2-0 victory. Those wins leave the Blues top of the table by four points heading into this game.
That one defeat apart, Birmingham have won the other four away games they have played this season.
