Mansfield Town LDLLDL ⚠
Mansfield Town won’t want a repeat of their last result here after the 2-1 League One loss in their previous game against Port Vale.
The only player to score from Mansfield Town was Rhys Oates (86'). Devante Cole (53') and Ronan Curtis (95') scored for Port Vale.
Mansfield Town have found it difficult to unlock defences in recent times. Their sum of goals equals just 3 versus opponents during their last six fixtures. In those meetings, Mansfield Town have also seen the tally of goals against them come to 9. That sort of trend won’t necessarily be carried forward into this next game, however.
A look at their previous results shows us that Mansfield Town:
- are unbeaten in the league by Rotherham United in their previous 2 games.
- are unbeaten in their last 3 league matches at home.
Rotherham United LLLWLL
After tasting defeat last time out to Stockport County in League One action, Rotherham United and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
Kyle Wootton (60') was the scorer for Stockport County.
The stats don’t lie, and Rotherham United have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 7 goals in total. In defence, Rotherham United have not been doing too well.
Going into this contest, Rotherham United are without an away win for the past 7 matches in the league.
↔️ Head to head
An examination of their prior head-to-head clashes stretching back to 05/11/2005 tells us that Mansfield Town have won 2 of these games & Rotherham United 3, with the tally of drawn matches being 1.
There were also goals galore in those games, with 22 overall which averages out at 3.67 goals per meeting.
The last league fixture between these sides was League One match day 43 on 18/04/2025 when it finished Rotherham United 3-3 Mansfield Town.
The referee was David Rock.
📰 Team News: Rotherham United
From a largely healthy squad, there is only the lone fitness problem for the Rotherham United gaffer Matt Hamshaw to contend with. Tom Holmes (Collateral ligament tear) misses out for this game.
💡 Prediction
We’re inclined to think that Mansfield Town will most probably be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.
At the same time, Rotherham United will be up against it getting on the scoresheet but we do fancy them hitting back at some stage.
Therefore, we are anticipating a controlled 3-1 winning margin for Mansfield Town by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
