The72’s writers offer their Wrexham vs Mansfield Town prediction ahead of their League Two clash on Friday afternoon.
Wrexham head into this Good Friday fixture with Mansfield Town off the back of a convincing 3-1 away win against Grimsby Town following a loss and a draw in their previous two outings.
An Andy Cannon brace had the Red Dragons two goals to the good before Paul Mullin extended their lead just before half-time. Arthur Gnahoua scored a late consolation goal for the Mariners, but Phil Parkinson’s men had already done enough to wrap up the three points and ensure they remained 3rd in the table.
Mansfield Town, on the other hand, were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw on home soil against Colchester United in their last encounter.
The Stags initially trailed at Field Mill following Harry Anderson’s 12th-minute effort, but Nigel Clough’s men hit back through Lewis Brunt just after the hour mark to somewhat spare their blushes. They remain top of League Two by two points, although Stockport County below them do boast a game in hand.
Here, a handful of our writers make their predictions for the game…
Jacob Hackett
“This is bound to be a fascinating encounter at the top end of League Two, and one that many eyes will be drawn to between two of the sides currently occupying automatic promotion spots.
“The Racecourse Ground is sure to be rocking this weekend, and home advantage could genuinely play a part here with Wrexham able to draw level on points with their visitors should they win.
