Reading FC and Mansfield Town will battle it out at Select Car Leasing Stadium on matchday four of EFL League One. With the visitors winning two of their last three league games, our prediction is leaning towards a Mansfield Town double chance.
Reading FC have one game in hand compared to their opponents' three. This has them languishing in the bottom two with a point to their name.
It has somewhat been a tough stretch for the Berkshire outfit, who are still searching for their first league win after two games (D1, L1).
However, they've found success in cup games this season, with their most recent triumph being a 3-0 away victory against Stevenage. This comes after a goalless draw against AFC Wimbledon on the road in the second round of the EFL Cup.
In contrast, Mansfield Town have found more success in the league than in cup games after being eliminated in the EFL Trophy and EFL Cup.
Regarding their performance in League One, they've won two of their last three. Only Peterborough have managed to take all three points from them this season.
However, they did manage to bounce back with a 5-2 home thrashing of Luton Town. Nathan Moriah-Welsh and Jonathan Russell both bagged braces in that match, while Louis Reed added one to his name.
