We said: Mansfield Town 2-1 Bolton Wanderers

Both sides will be looking to make up ground on the playoff spots by taking three points from each other this week, so expect a close-fought contest. It is difficult to see a huge margin of victory for either team given their mixed form, though Mansfield have won two of their last three and only narrowly lost on Sunday, so they may get the win to start 2025 on a positive note.
