Team Information, Mansfield vs Crawley Lineups and Preview

Mansfield

The home team is in a rut during their last three matches where they played only draw games. They are three points away from Bradford who is holding the last spot available for a promotion playoffs battle. Mansfield has been playing a terrific offensive style of football with plenty of goals, however, they also allow a lot of goals and that has become a problem during the season. Mansfield has a full squad available.

Provisional lineup: Pym, Hewitt, Kilgour, Harbottle, Bowery, Keillor-Dunn, Wallace, Clarke, Akins, Johnson, Gale.

Crawley

After losing six straight games, Crawley has come back strong with three wins and a couple of draw matches in their last five games which puts them five points clear just above the relegation zone. Crawley has the worst defense in the league allowing 67 goals and that could be a problem against Mansfield who has a top-three attack in League Two. The visiting team has some injury issues: Ludwig Francillette, Jordon Mutch, and Teddy Jenks are out.

Provisional lineup: Addai, Ogungbo, Lynch, Johnson, Gordon, Oteh, Powell, Gladwin, Tilley, Telford, Nadesan.

Starting lineups

Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.

Player to Watch: Will Swan

We don't often see a player who had a limited minute available to him and still managed to lead his team in scoring. That is the case with the 22-year-old Will Swan who has scored 9 goals this season for Mansfield also adding an assist to his resume. He has played below 40 percent of available minutes and yet made terrific progress.
