Our Suggested Best Value Bet For This Match
[wptb id=401398]
Best Value Bet Rationale
The rationale is clear: Keillor-Dunn boasts an impressive BettingTips4You Expert Rating of 7.72, highlighting his importance and form for Mansfield this season. Over the recent matches, his ratings have consistently been above 7.4, peaking at 8.8 against Harrogate Town. In the current season, he’s played 15 matches, started all of them, and has an average of 0.5 goals per game. His shooting statistics are impressive with an average of 4.3 shots per game, and 1.9 of those being on target.
Furthermore, with Mansfield’s main striker Lucas Akins’ availability uncertain, Keillor-Dunn’s role in the attack becomes even more crucial. The recent 0-0 draw between these teams saw Mansfield firing 20 shots, indicating their attacking intent. Given Keillor-Dunn’s form and Mansfield’s propensity to shoot, betting on him to score anytime seems a compelling value proposition.
Recent Performances
Mansfield Town, after cruising with an admirable unbeaten record, faced a hiccup in their most recent EFL Cup clash against Port Vale. The Spurs’ protégé, Alfie Devine, ended their dreams for a first-ever quarter-final EFL Cup appearance. Despite the minor setback, head coach Nigel Clough remains proud and confident as his side braces for more knockout fixtures.
Wrexham, on the other hand, has been nothing short of brilliant. Their recent 2-0 triumph over Notts County signifies their soaring form. The Red Dragons have now tallied an impressive eight-game unbeaten streak, with their last meeting with Mansfield ending in a goalless draw despite 20 shots fired by the Stags.

Key Players to Watch
Mansfield’s attacking flair may have been dampened in their recent matches due to the absence of Lucas Akins. His uncertain return might affect their offensive strategies. However, the return of Rhys Oates and Stephen McLaughlin brings a ray of hope, even though they might not start against Wrexham.
For Wrexham, Steven Fletcher’s absence could be a dent in their armour. Yet, with the likes of revered striker Paul Mullin and left wing-back James McClean available, they’re far from being weakened.
Team Analysis and Predictions
BettingTips4You Expert Rating Analysis:
Mansfield’s top players, based on the BettingTips4you Rating, are Davis Keillor-Dunn and Aden Flint, both with ratings above 7.4. Their season stats indicate a strong offensive with an average of 1.8 goals scored per match and 19.5 shots. Their defence remains robust with six clean sheets. Their ball possession at 56.3% shows their capability to control the game.
Wrexham’s top player is the goalie Arthur Okonkwo with an expert rating of 7.56. Their attacking stats average at 2 goals per match, with a slightly lesser ball possession at 48.4%. However, their defence is slightly porous with an average of 1.7 goals conceded per match.
Key Dynamics and Managerial Expertise
The match’s outcome may very well hinge on the midfield battle. With players like Davis Keillor-Dunn for Mansfield and Elliot Lee for Wrexham, it’s where the game could be won or lost.
Phil Parkinson’s recent strategies for Wrexham have been commendable, propelling them on an unbeaten streak. However, his slight over-reliance on certain players could be his Achilles heel. On the contrary, Nigel Clough’s approach for Mansfield has been consistent, making them tough competitors. Still, Clough’s decision-making in crunch situations could use improvement, as seen in their recent EFL Cup ouster.
Conclusion
The upcoming clash between Mansfield and Wrexham promises thrilling action, with both teams vying to advance in the FA Cup. Their recent forms and strategies suggest a close match, but Mansfield’s slight edge, combined with the home advantage, might tilt the game in their favour.
Predictions:
- Match Outcome Prediction: Given the slight edge in form and the home advantage, predicting a win for Mansfield Town seems logical.
- Correct Score Prediction: With both teams having impressive attacking records, a 2-1 victory for Mansfield Town is plausible.
- Goalscorer Prediction: Considering his current form and rating, Davis Keillor-Dunn of Mansfield is likely to be on the scoresheet.
- Corner Prediction: With Mansfield averaging 6.7 corners and Wrexham at 7.3, predicting a total of over 13 corners for the match seems feasible.
