Latest Mansfield Town odds for promotion chances, relegation, League One top goalscorer and top six finish
The League One season is almost upon us and fans are eager to see how Mansfield Town fare after finishing tenth last time round.
Stags’ impressive end to the 2026/27 season recorded their best league finish in almost 40 years. Nigel Clough’s side lost just once in their last 15 games of the campaign and their defence was the joint-third strongest in the table.
Mansfield and Cardiff City both conceded 50 goals across the season – only Stevenage and champions Lincoln City shipped fewer with 46 and 41 respectively.
Since Stags’ promotion to League One in 2024, they have continued to improve each year. They finished 17th in the first season back in the third tier and exceeded expectations last time out with their impressive tenth-place achievement.
Many fancy Stags to keep pushing on and challenge with the best of League One this season. But what do the latest odds say and are they in Mansfield Town’s favour?
Recent figures from Betfair suggest Stags aren’t immediate favourites to be promoted on paper. In fact, they are down as more likely to be relegated (4/1) than they are to go up (10/1).
The favourites to go down this season are Bromley, AFC Wimbledon, Burton and Cambridge United. While the favourites to make the step up to the Championship are Leicester, Sheffield Wednesday and Luton Town.
Stags are, however, in the conversation for a tussle with the play-offs. Here are the latest odds on how Mansfield Town’s League One season might unfold:
League One winner 40/1
To be promoted 10/1
To be relegated 4/1
Top 6 finish 11/2
Top 2 finish 14/1
Top Midlands team 8/1
There’s a real mixed bag of odds for who will finish as the League One top goalscorer. The favourite at the moment is Plymouth Argyle’s Aribim Pepple at 15/2. As for Stags’ options, summer signing David McGoldrick is reasonable at 25/1, followed by Michael Smith (80/1), Lucas Akins (100/1) and Rhys Oates (150/1).
