Mansfield Town v York City preview and latest betting - Blue Square Premier playoffs

Mansfield Town are 13/10 favourites to beat York City today
Mansfield Town have home advantage for the second leg of their Blue Square Premier League playoff with York City but they will be without influential striker Matt Green.

Two contrasting styles from the 1st leg produced the third draw of the season between these two clubs. York City have not been ahead in any of the three games so far and once again it was their comeback on Wednesday that ensured honours were even. 

Sending-offs have been prevalent in live Blue Square Bet Premier matches and once again a player saw red in front of the Premier Sports cameras in the first game. That's an astonishing figure of over 70% of live matches featuring a dismissal over the last five seasons, compared to just 30% in non-live matches. It was Mansfield's star striker Matt Green that received his marching orders and his suspension for the 2nd leg has made a big impact on the prices. 

Tackles were flying in on Wednesday and a couple of players did look fortunate not to join Green for an early-bath. A sending-off in this all important 2nd leg is just 9/4, which would still represent value against the overall live stats. 

The Stags are 13/10 narrow favourites to win in 90 minutes with home advantage, York are priced at 9/5 and another draw is priced at 9/4. The 1-1 at Bootham Crescent was the eighth draw in a first leg match since the Conference play-offs started in the 2002/03 season. Four of the previous seven away teams to achieve a draw in the first leg have eventually prevailed, but that's hardly a weighty stat. 

One interesting outcome from analysing previous 1st legs that have ended level is that three of the seven have seen the sides inseparable after 180 minutes. That could be a highly likely outcome here considering the recent history between the two teams. Blue Square have priced up all eventualities and an Extra-Time win for Mansfield is offered at 9/1, York to do likewise is 11/1. A penalty shoot-out win is 11/1 for each team. Another 1-1 draw in normal time is on offer at 6/1. 

Green's suspension could mean that Mansfield's scorer from the first leg Ross Dyer picks up a more central role on Monday and he could once again be a threat from set-pieces and long throws. Dyer is 11/2 to score the first goal of the game and 13/8 to score at any time. 

Matty Blair got into the right areas for York in the first game but failed to build on his chances, he could still be a value bet to find the net at some point in the 2nd leg at 7/2. Jason Walker was marshalled with what looked like strict instructions from the Mansfield back line and he had to drop deep to get the ball quite often, he is as big as 13/2 to break the deadlock in the game though and based on his overall record that might be worth chancing.
