Peterborough United vs Mansfield Town is a League One clash at London Road on Saturday at 3pm, with the in-form visitors travelling as slight favourites.
Peterborough were beaten on the opening day while Mansfield won, and the market reflects that early form. Andy Francis has the best bets, a score prediction and the head-to-head record below.
Premium Tips
Andy is with the visitors, who carry the momentum after an opening-day win.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Mansfield Town to win and both teams to score | 3/1 | Mansfield head to London Road full of confidence after seeing off Doncaster 2-1 on the opening day, and their well-organised, counter-attacking approach makes them a live threat against a Peterborough side who managed nothing going forward in a flat 2-0 defeat at Bradford. History also points to goals at both ends: four of the last five meetings between these sides have produced goals for both home and away teams. Posh should create their own openings at London Road against a Mansfield defence that has shown some frailty, but the Stags’ extra cutting edge and early-season momentum should be enough to see them come away with both the win and goals at both ends. |
| Over 2.5 goals and David McGoldrick to score anytime | 21/10 | Peterborough’s opening-day defeat at Bradford looked more like a sluggish start than a lack of firepower, and they’ll need to throw men forward at London Road, which should open up space for Mansfield’s dangerous counter-attacking threat. Experienced striker David McGoldrick gives the visitors a proven focal point up top, and with both sides chasing their first points of the season, this has the makings of an open, end-to-end contest. The head-to-head record backs that up too: four of the last five meetings between these clubs have produced at least three goals. Backing McGoldrick to get on the scoresheet in a high-scoring game looks a smart combination bet. |

How Peterborough United go into the game
Peterborough opened with a disappointing 2-0 defeat at Bradford, a flat display from a side who usually carry a real attacking threat. London Road should see a much-improved performance.
Posh are known for their front-foot football and will back themselves to score at home. A response is needed after a below-par opening day.
How Mansfield Town go into the game
Mansfield made a strong start, beating Doncaster 2-1 to signal their intent. That win will breed confidence heading into a tricky away trip.
The Stags are well-organised and dangerous on the break, and they travel as narrow favourites. Backing up their opening win would mark a fine start to the season.
