EFL League Two Playoff Final Betting Predictions – Mansfield Town FC
Mansfield Town picked up its form at the right moment to stay unbeaten through the last month including the two victories in the previous round of the playoffs.
Managed by former England international Nigel Clough, Mansfield Town enjoyed a memorable campaign after barely surviving relegation into non-League football. However, the season did not start brightly with the Stags lying second from bottom at the end of October. But a 14-game unbeaten-run along with a club-record 11-match winning-streak at home meant it finished only 3 points off automatic-promotion.
Clough usually prefers a 4-3-3 system away from home. Nathan Bishop will be the goalkeeper with Oliver Hawkins and James Perch as the centre-back partnership. Elliot Hewitt is the fullback on the right with Stephen McLaughlin on the left. George Maris will be the anchorman with James Lapslie and Matty Longstaff as the other central-midfielders. Rhys Oates takes the centre-forward role with Lucas Akins operating on one wing and Jordan Bowery on the other.

EFL League Two Playoff Final Betting Predictions – Port Vale FC
Port Vale looked certain of an automatic-promotion but fell down to 5th position in the end before managing to scrape past Swindon Town with a penalty-shootout victory.
The manager Darrell Clarke, who incidentally was born in Mansfield Town and started his playing-career with the club, had made wholesale changes to squad last summer in his first full-season with Port Vale. The team took only 1 win from its first 6 games but a couple of hot spells during autumn and in spring propelled the club into the top-3. Yet a tame finish to the season meant it had to settle for 5th place in the end.
Clarke has mostly used a 3-4-1-2 formation during the latter-half of the campaign. Aidan Stone is the first-choice goalkeeper with Connor Hall, Aaron Martin and Nathan Smith as the 3-man backline. David Worrall will take wing spot on the right and Malvind Benning will take up the left-flank. Tom Pett and Harry Charsley are the midfield pair in the centre of the park. Ben Garrity will take the no.10 role behind the strike-pair consisting of Jamie Proctor and James Wilson.
