Team News

Mansfield
Barnsley
  • Nigel Clough is still working around the clock to put together a winning team following their desperate run of form.
  • And the Mansfield boss is still dealing with a huge absentee list, which isn't helping his case.
  • Mael de Gevigney is back available after serving a three-game ban.
  • Former player Conor Hourihane is in interim charge and will be the man tasked with picking the team.

Prediction

  • Mansfield's desperate form continued at Exeter on Tuesday as they suffered a ninth defeat in 2025 to extend their winless run to 13 games.
  • Despite their struggles, the Stags still sit eight points clear of danger, but that gap surely won't remain as healthy if they don't improve quickly.
  • Barnsley looked to have turned a corner with three straight wins getting their playoff charge back on track, but two defeats since then, the last being 3-0 at home to Blackpool, has led to manager Darrell Clarke being sacked.
  • The Tykes are not yet out of the running - with the gap to sixth place currently eight points - but they require a near-perfect end to the season to challenge the likes of Bolton, Huddersfield and Reading.
