Head-to-Head

Betting Insights
- Mansfield are the slight favorites at 2.4, but The Posh are 2.66 and the tie is 3.6.
- Both sides have attacking qualities to hurt the other, so over 2.5 goals at 1.62 and both teams to score: yes at 1.5 also appeals in this fixture.
Prediction
- Mansfield have been the sharper of the two sides so far, which is why we're backing them to get the win here.
- However, it will be a tight game.
- Williams is setting up his Peterborough side in a 4-2-3-1 formation with his team set to control possession, run at the defence and then press their opponents when they lose the ball.
