We said: Walsall 0-1 Mansfield Town

 Walsall's improved League Two form came to an abrupt end in the loss against Stockport in midweek, and we expect that it will be two losses on the spin for the Saddlers. Mansfield have been in good form, winning away against Hartlepool on Thursday night, and they should be able to continue their charge for the automatic promotion spots. Read more.
