Our Wigan Athletic vs Mansfield Town predictions for tonight’s 7.45pm (UK time) kick-off back Over 10.5 match corners at 1/1 (Betfred), with our score prediction Wigan Athletic 1-2 Mansfield Town. Wigan Athletic host Mansfield Town at the DW Stadium on Tuesday night, and our Wigan Athletic vs Mansfield Town predictions make the visitors narrow favourites to take the points at 7.45pm.
Both sides go in with contrasting outlooks. Wigan Athletic sit 21st in League One on 10 points, nine defeats already clocked up, while Mansfield Town arrive 12th on 18 and with the better recent away record.
That gap, plus the Stags’ threat on the road, is why the bookmakers lean towards the visitors. However, Wigan’s knack of picking up points at the DW muddies the outlook.
Premium Tips
We like two angles at the DW Stadium. One is in the corner market, and the other is on a Mansfield goalscorer.| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Over 10.5 match corners | 1/1 (Betfred) | Corners have been a reliable route into these League One midweek games. Wigan push men forward at home, where they have scored seven in six. Meanwhile, Mansfield are happy to sit in and counter. That pattern tends to force the ball wide and win set-pieces at both ends. The hosts will likely chase the game if they fall behind. Therefore, the 10.5 line at evens looks beatable. It is a neutral market that sidesteps the coin-flip result. Also, evens for 11 or more flags is a fair price here. |
| Jon Russell to score anytime | 11/4 (Betfred) | Mansfield Town have shared their goals around this season. Jon Russell has been one of the most reliable sources from midfield with three to his name already. The visitors have found the net ten times on their travels, so backing a runner who gets into the box at 11/4 holds appeal. After all, Wigan have conceded 22 times. Russell times his arrivals from deep well and carries a threat from the edge of the area. That makes him a tidy price to be among the scorers on Tuesday night. |

How Wigan Athletic go into the game
Wigan Athletic go into this on the back of a 3-2 home win over Bromley. That result lifted some of the gloom at the DW Stadium. That victory followed three straight away defeats, at Leicester City, Huddersfield Town and Oxford United. Indeed, that sums up the split in their campaign. At home they have won three and lost three of six, while on the road they have taken a single point from seven games.
Only 11 goals in 13 matches tells its own story. Moreover, seven of those games have ended without a Wigan goal. The forwards have struggled for rhythm. Still, Wigan have beaten both Reading and Bromley at home, so the DW crowd has seen enough fight to believe survival is far from a lost cause.
How Mansfield Town go into the game
Notts County brought Mansfield Town back down to earth last time out. The Stags lost 2-0 at home after a strong spell. Before that the Stags had won back-to-back away games, 4-1 at Blackpool and 3-0 at AFC Wimbledon, underlining why their form on the road shapes this tie.Across the season Mansfield sit 12th on 18 points, with a positive goal difference. They also score in bunches when they travel, finding the net ten times in six outings. Opponents can open them up at the back, as they have conceded 18. However, the balance of a mid-table side against a struggling host is why they start as favourites.
