League One Betting Preview: Wigan vs Mansfield

Wigan welcome Mansfield to The Brick Community Stadium, with kick-off set for 10:00 on Saturday 11 April.

We’re Expecting a Low-Scoring Encounter

For those that agree with our view that this will be low-scoring, take the -133 when it comes to Under 2.5 on the Total Goals market. We don’t think Wigan and Mansfield will serve up a goalfest.

1-1 Draw in Pair’s Last Battle

Wigan Athletic won their last game 3-1. This was an away victory at Sixfields Stadium against Northampton Town.

Mansfield Town drew 0-0 in their previous game. This was at home against Burton Albion at One Call Stadium.

Head-to-Head Statistics

Wigan have avoided defeat against Mansfield in the past three meetings, with their last encounter ending in a 1-1 draw at One Call Stadium. The past 4 H2H matches have included two draws along with a win each for Wigan and Mansfield.

Tight Affair Likely According to the Bookies

The 1x2 odds are available for this League One encounter and you can secure +140 that Wigan Athletic are victorious and +190 that Mansfield Town get the job done. Those wanting to wager the draw with the bookmakers can secure +215.

There’s the chance to back Wigan at -100 if you want to take them on the Asian Handicap -0.25. There’s a full payout if they beat Mansfield but also half stake returned if the scoreline ends level.

Under 2.5 Goals is currently the betting favourite and a bet on this option would mean you need no more than two goals to be scored. Both Teams to Score is one of the top markets and the BTTS Yes option can be wagered at -141.

If you head to the top football betting sites, you can take your pick when it comes to League One games. The hundreds of markets always ensure lots of choice.
