Mansfield Town vs Doncaster Rovers Prediction 10.10.2023

• Competition: England &— EFL Trophy
• Date: Tuesday, 10th, October 2023
• Kickoff: 19:00 UK / 20.00 CEST
• Venue: One Call Stadium (Mansfield)

Having yet to play a single game in the tournament, Mansfield Town is eager to begin their EFL Trophy campaign on a high note. They will face League Two rivals Doncaster at Field Mill on Tuesday.

The team wearing yellow and blue uniforms, who finished eighth in League Two last season and narrowly missed out on a playoff spot due to their lower goal difference compared to seventh-placed Salford, are showing great determination to secure a top seven position this year. Led by Nigel Clough, they can be proud of their unbeaten record in the fourth tier of English football, having accumulated 20 points from 12 league matches. Currently sitting in fifth place, they are only four points behind the leaders, Notts County.

Doncaster’s fortunes have taken a turn for the worse since their departure from the third division. Their return to League Two was marred by a significant embarrassment in the previous season. Despite avoiding relegation, they disappointingly finished in 18th place, far from what they had hoped for. The troubles continue for Doncaster as they currently find themselves in 20th position, with only four points separating them from Sutton, who are just below the relegation line. A gloomy season seems to be on the horizon for the Rovers.

Mansfield vs Doncaster Betting Tips: Mansfield to Win

Despite being in an English competition of high level, Mansfield Town has yet to experience defeat in the current season after playing 15 games. They have become known as the “draw specialists” due to their impressive ten tied matches, compared to only five victories. Coach Nigel Clough understands that his team must adopt a stronger winning mentality if they want to achieve their ambitious goals. It is worth mentioning that the team has won four out of their five matches at their home ground this season, giving them optimism for their upcoming match against Doncaster, a team that has struggled away from home with five losses in their last six matches. Additionally, recent history between the two teams favors Mansfield, as they have emerged victorious in three out of the last four meetings against Doncaster. Therefore, Mansfield has every reason to believe they can secure a victory in their EFL Trophy opener.
