Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Maybe it'd be too strong to say that we expect Nigel Clough and Michael Skubala to park the bus here, but we're certainly not expecting a flood of goals as Mansfield and Lincoln go head-to-head. The statistics belowsuggest there will be under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we think that's a good shout here. With best odds of 1.80 available on under 2.5 goals and no obvious match winner in sight, that's the bet we're recommending.
