The Carabao Cup first round will see Mansfield Town taking on Sheffield United at One Call Stadium on Sunday evening. These sides played to a seven-goal thriller earlier this year, and our prediction is that there will be goals in this match as well.
Mansfield Town enjoyed another progressive season in 2025-26, finishing 10th in the League One standings, while also reaching the last 16 of the FA Cup - their joint-best performance.
The Stags had a mixed pre-season, winning two of their four games against Retford (2-1) and Alfreton (4-0), while losing to Barrow (4-3) and, most recently, Derby (3-1) at home last week.
The hosts ended last season unbeaten in their final six games and with just one loss in 13. Their last home defeat in any competition came against Arsenal in the FA Cup back in early March.
Meanwhile, after reaching the Playoffs in 2024-25, Sheffield United endured a disappointing campaign in the Championship last term, finishing down in 13th place, 13 points off the top six.
However, the Blades had a solid pre-season, going unbeaten in six games, including four wins and two draws, while maintaining clean sheets in three matches during this period.
The visitors have won two, drawn one, and lost two of their last five competitive away games but have only failed to score in one of their last eight on the road.

Our Mansfield Town vs Sheffield United Prediction
Mansfield Town had another solid season in 2025-26, which included reaching their joint-best finish in the FA Cup before bowing out to Arsenal, and this term they will be looking to push closer to the Playoff zone in League One.
Sheffield United, on the other hand, dropped 10 places in the Championship last season from third in the previous campaign, and a major contributing factor was poor defence, having conceded 66 goals. Therefore, our Mansfield vs Sheffield United prediction is BTTS.
