LiontipsMansfield Town vs Bolton. Prediction and bets on the English Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
Mansfield Town finished third in League Two last season, enough to earn promotion straight to League One. They are currently in 11th place after 21 games at that level. The hosts have 31 points, just six behind Reading, who are in sixth place. If things continue like this, the Stags could be in contention for promotion to the Championship. After clean sheets against Rotherham (1-0) and Peterborough United (3-0), they suffered a tough 2-1 away defeat at Reading.

The hosts have no problems with the squad at the moment.
Interesting trends for betting

- The team lost its last three head-to-head matches to today opponent
Probable lineup: Pyme - Bowery, Oshilaja, Cargill - Hewitt, Baccus, Reid, Lewis, Blake-Tracy - Ekins, Evans
Current form
Bolton are eighth in the League 1 standings and are hoping to fight for promotion. The team has been hanging around in the lower divisions of the English division for quite some time and dreams of returning to the Championship at least. This season, the visitors will have such a chance, because Wanderers are only three points behind the play-off zone. After unsuccessful matches with Wigan (0:2), Wycombe Wanderers (0:0) and Barnsley (1:2), the team still managed to finish the calendar year with a victory over Lincoln (3:0).

1.64Tip and bets
The hosts have been showing good results lately, despite their status as a newcomer to the division. Bolton are not in the best shape now, so the modest team from Mansfield has an excellent chance to achieve a positive result. We believe that the hosts will be able to earn three points at their stadium.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Mansfield Town for 1.60
Bet on total
The hosts demonstrate a good game in defense and in most of the recent matches they kept a clean sheet. We believe that in the match with Bolton the newcomers of the division will rely on defense, so it is unlikely that we will see a productive game here.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.90
Bet on the first half
We don't expect the opponents to go forward in force immediately after the starting whistle. It will obviously take time to get to know each other. In this scenario, a draw at the end of the first half is likely.
Our prediction is a draw in the first half at 2.15
