League One action sees newly-promoted Mansfield Town host promotion-chasing Plymouth Argyle at the One Call Stadium this Saturday.
Mansfield will be looking to prove they belong at this level and will rely on their passionate home support to challenge a strong Plymouth side. The Pilgrims, relegated from the Championship last season, are aiming for a swift return and will see this as a must-win game to keep pace at the top of the table.
For those looking to build an accumulator for this weekend’s football, Sky Bet has a huge sign-up offer for new customers, giving you £50 in free bets to use.
How to claim the offer
- Go to Sky Bet via a special link and register a new account.
- Place a minimum £10 bet on a football accumulator with at least 5 selections.
- Ensure the combined odds of your first bet are 1/1 (2.00) or greater.
- Once your qualifying bet settles, you will receive your £50 in Free Bets (credited as 5 x £10 tokens).
Match Prediction
This is a classic clash between a determined, newly-promoted side and a team with superior quality on paper. Mansfield will undoubtedly make it a tough afternoon for the visitors, and their home form could be the key to their survival this season.
However, Plymouth Argyle’s experience and stronger squad should be the difference-maker. Expect a competitive match, but we predict the Pilgrims’ quality will eventually shine through. We’re backing a narrow 2-1 victory for the away side.
