**Mansfield roll into Bloomfield Road on a five-game unbeaten run — can Blackpool snap them out of it, or will the Stags extend their H2H dominance?** 🔥

Blackpool are desperately chasing consistency (1W in 5), while Mansfield have barely put a foot wrong lately. The visitors have won four of their last six head-to-heads, and that form advantage is hard to ignore.

Key storylines:

- **Mansfield's defensive steel** has been the backbone of their run — three wins in five with no defeats
- **Blackpool's midfield battle**: J. Bowler and K. Anderson need to control tempo against **L. Reed** and **S. McLaughlin**'s Mansfield press
- **Yates and Hamilton** up front will be Blackpool's main hope for breaking down a stubborn **H. Lewis** backline

Expected lineups:

- **Blackpool**: B. Peacock-Farrell, O. Casey, J. Williams, J. Earl, Z. Ashworth, J. Bowler, A. Morgan, K. Anderson, T. Bloxham, J. Yates, C. Hamilton
- **Mansfield Town**: H. Lewis, A. Oshilaja, R. Sweeney, E. Hewitt, S. McLaughlin, L. Reed, L. Thompson, J. Russell, M. Smith, L. Roberts, R. Oates

Prediction:

**1-1 draw** — Mansfield's form and H2H edge suggests they'll frustrate Blackpool, but the hosts have just enough at home to salvage a point.
