Football Park’s Best Bet: Mansfield Town Double Chance (Draw or Win) @ 3.25 - Our team of in-house betting tipsters have predicted a Mansfield Town Double Chance (Draw or Win) in this fixture. Mansfield's form in comparison to Everton's justifies confidence in this selection.
Beto (Everton)
The powerful striker will be central to Everton’s attack, with his physical presence and eye for goal making him the biggest threat to Mansfield’s backline. If he finds space, the visitors could be in trouble.
Dwight McNeil (Everton)
A proven creator with a lethal left foot, McNeil’s delivery from wide areas could prove the difference. His link-up play with Beto will be key to breaking down Mansfield’s resistance.
Will Evans (Mansfield Town)
Leading the line for the Stags, Evans’ ability to hold up the ball and take his chances will be crucial if Mansfield are to punish any Everton mistakes. Having scored last time out, the forward will be eager to make it back-to-back goals for The Stags.
Louis Reed (Mansfield Town)
The midfield engine, Reed’s composure and range of passing will dictate how Mansfield transition from defence to attack. If he can get on the ball, Mansfield have every chance of causing problems.
