Burton vs Mansfield Match Summary
Competition | English League One |
|---|---|
Match Date | Saturday 19 September 2026 |
Match Time | 12:30 UK time |
Venue (City, Stadium) | Burton upon Trent, Pirelli Stadium |
The Pirelli Stadium hosts a League One meeting between two mid-table sides on Saturday, with Burton vs Mansfield pitting the home favourites against a Stags team searching for a spark.
Burton sit 11th and are looking for a response after a 3-0 hiding away at Oxford United, a result that saw them fail to score for the first time this season.
Mansfield sit 17th and arrive still hunting their first away goals and points of the campaign, having lost all three opening away outings before grinding out a home draw with Huddersfield.
The stakes are simple in this English League One fixture, with Burton undefeated in 11 of their last 12 matches against Mansfield in all competitions.
Burton vs Mansfield Form
Burton were open before their trip to Oxford United, with over 2.5 goals in each of their last five League One games and 3+ goals in five of their last five. The 3-0 loss was Gary Bowyer's first blank of the season, but the Brewers had lost only one of the previous five beforehand. Charlie Webster has been a consistent threat from midfield, attempting 2+ shots in five of his six most recent League One outings.
Mansfield have hit a wall in front of goal, failing to score in their last three League One matches, and they travel still chasing a first away goal or point of the season after three defeats on the road. Nigel Clough's side dug in for a 0-0 draw at home to Huddersfield despite going down to 10 men, but they have won just one of their last six in all competitions.

Burton vs Mansfield Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Burton are the favourites at 6/4 with 10Bet and the numbers back that up, with the home side edging a tight, entertaining afternoon. Mansfield's goal drought is a worry, but Burton's own attack keeps ticking over, so a 2-1 home win looks about right.
Best Bets
Back Liam Thompson to register Over 0.5 Shots On Target in the Player Shots On Target market. Thompson is fancied to get an effort on target here, carrying a projected 42.26% implied probability of testing the keeper from midfield. That reads as strong value given his role in the Mansfield engine room.
Back Charlie Webster to find the net in the Anytime Goalscorer market. Starting in an advanced attacking midfield role for the home favourites, Webster is handed a 35.35% implied probability to score. His record of registering multiple shot attempts across the vast majority of his recent League One appearances makes him well placed to get on the scoresheet.
Burton vs Mansfield Bet Builder
Our four-leg bet builder leans on the Brewers, combining a Burton win, Michael Smith to score anytime, both teams to score and Charlie Webster to find the net for a bit of home flavour.
A Burton win makes sense with the hosts favoured and undefeated in 11 of their last 12 against Mansfield in all competitions, plus 3+ goals in five of their last five League One outings.
Michael Smith to score anytime is grounded in his record against these opponents, having managed 1+ shot on target in six of his last six appearances against Burton in League One.
Both teams to score is supported by the goals flowing at this end, with 3+ goals in five of Burton's last five League One matches keeping the game open.
Charlie Webster to net rounds it off, with the attacking midfielder a consistent presence in the shot count across his League One outings this season.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 13/1 and is as short as 9/1 elsewhere.

Burton vs Mansfield Talking Points
There is a familiar face in the away dugout, with Nigel Clough returning to the Pirelli Stadium having led Burton across two managerial spells that took them from non-league up to the Championship. His Mansfield side arrive off the back of a postponement, with their following League One fixture against Leyton Orient called off after international call-ups for Lucas Akins, Nathan Moriah-Welsh and Jon Russell. On the pitch, discipline is a theme worth watching, with Mansfield picking up 2+ cards in three of their last three against Burton in League One, and Stephen McLaughlin carded in three of his last three appearances against them in League One.
