Mansfield vs Morecambe Preview

It all looked to be going wrong for John Dempster at Rodney Parade last weekend, but the rookie boss will be pleased with the way that his side fought back to earn a point. Not many sides leave South Wales with anything to show for it, so the manner in which the Stags levelled proceedings is extremely encouraging going forward. They lost the XG battle, but they created enough in the second half to suggest that they will be threat this season, and that will undoubtedly be music to the ears of their ante-post backers. There’s little doubt that the Stags have the squad to earn promotion this season, and Nicky Maynard battled well throughout the game. They have plenty of creativity in midfield, and looked to have a better balance overall than last season. They won 14 times her last season, and they could be hard to topple in Nottinghamshire this campaign. They always start well at home, and have not been defeated at this ground in the month of August for half a decade.

Morecambe were hoping to avoid another an underwhelming start to the campaign last week, but they were undone by two sloppy goal. Although the Shrimps did survive last season, it was largely thanks to their late season form. They picked up just three points from a possible 24 at the beginning of last season, and Jim Bentley’s men looks set for another season of struggle on the evidence of their opening day defeat at the Globe. They were easily second best in that match, and they need to create more in the final third here. Jim Bentley has a terrible record against the Stags, and has been defeated in each of his last five meetings with Mansfield. Games between these two sides also rarely end level, so it would be one of the shocks of the weekend if Morecambe were able to head back to the North West with all three points. Rhys Oates looked the most likely player to open his account for Morecambe last weekend, but he will need some assistance in the final third.

It’s hard to look beyond Mansfield in this game, and they are an odds-on price to pick up their first victory of the campaign here. The Stags have a good record against Morecambe and Jim Bentley, and they looked far stronger on the evidence of last week. They need to prove their credentials as promotion hopefuls, and although far tougher tests await, they can send out a statement to the rest of the league with a comprehensive victory in this one. The Shrimps lost 6-0 in their opening away game of the 2018-19 campaign, and although I’m not expecting a hammering in this contest, they should concede at least a couple. Mansfield and Over 1.5 Goals is 21/20 with Coral, which is a superb price.

Otis Khan looked lively in the opening game of the season, and the former Yeovil man could thrive under the tutelage of John Dempster this season. He looks like is enjoying plenty of freedom, and at 3/1, he could be the man to unlock the Morecambe defence.
