Full Analysis
One Call Stadium plays host to Mansfield Town versus Peterborough in League One (matchday 16). Kick-off: Tuesday 10 February 2026 at 19:45 UK time.
Form & Momentum
Mansfield Town have collected 1.70 PPG across their last 10 games: 4W 5D 1L. Last five: W D D D D. They are averaging 1.30 goals per game and conceding 0.60 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. Defensively, conceding just 0.60 per game is an exceptional defensive record. 6 clean sheets from 10 games (60%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches.
In front of their own supporters, Mansfield Town have posted 4W 3D 3L from their last 10 home games — 1.50 PPG. At home they are averaging 1.30 goals scored and 0.80 conceded per game. 5 clean sheets from their last 10 home games (50%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at home.
Peterborough (all games): 5W 1D 4L across their last 10 — 1.60 points per game. Last five: L W L L W. They are scoring at 1.90 per game and conceding 1.30. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%).
When travelling, Peterborough have posted 6W 0D 4L from their last 10 away outings — 1.80 PPG. Away from home they average 1.30 goals scored and 1.10 conceded per game. 5 away clean sheets from their last 10 away games (50%) — they are hard to break down on the road.
A near-identical PPG reading — 1.70 for Mansfield Town, 1.60 for Peterborough — means the form record is uninstructive on result selection. The goals and market sections will carry greater evidential weight.
H2H Analysis
Neither side has dominated the 2 H2H matches in our data: 2 wins for Mansfield Town, 0 for Peterborough and 0 draws — leaving the H2H largely neutral. With only 2 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.
Goals have been a feature of this fixture — the 2 H2H matches in our data averaged 4.5 per game, which gives Over 2.5 a solid head-to-head foundation. The most recent of those, on 30 Apr 2025, ended Mansfield Town 4–2 Peterborough — a Mansfield Town win.
With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 4.5 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.
Trading Data
Mansfield Town goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 74 games, 36 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 69% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 72% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; of the 25 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 28%; of the 23 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 35%; BTTS occurs in 56% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 56% of games (home games).
Peterborough goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 74 games, 36 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 67% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 89% of the time; BTTS occurs in 61% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 61% of games (away games).
From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Mansfield Town 60% and Peterborough 61% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Mansfield Town 57% | Peterborough 60%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Mansfield Town 1.30 xG and Peterborough 0.99 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Mansfield Town attack 0.946 / defence 0.833 | Peterborough attack 1.051 / defence 0.990. League average goals — home 1.387 / away 1.127. Data: built from Mansfield Town's last 74 games and Peterborough's last 76.
Result probabilities: Mansfield Town 44% | Draw 28% | Peterborough 28%. Fair-value odds: Mansfield Town 2.29 | Draw 3.57 | Peterborough 3.54. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 28% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 40% | BTTS Yes probability 46% | Total xG 2.28. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 60% — total xG of 2.28 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS No at 54% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.
Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Mansfield Town at 44% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 28% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Mansfield Town if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 28% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
Poisson projects 2.28 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 60% probability — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 54% on No. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Mansfield Town 40% (last 10 home games) | Peterborough 40% (last 10 away games).

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Peterborough beat Mansfield Town 1-2 at One Call Stadium, Regular Season - 16, in the League One. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Mansfield Town 1.30 xG and Peterborough 0.99 xG, a combined 2.28. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. Peterborough outscored their 0.99 projection by 1.0. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Mansfield Town attack 0.95 / defence 0.83 against Peterborough attack 1.05 / defence 0.99, drawn from 74/76 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Mansfield Town 44% | Draw 28% | Peterborough 28%, with Mansfield Town to win its most likely call at 44%. The actual Peterborough win had been the model's second-ranked read at 28%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 40%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 67% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 46% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 58% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Mansfield Town 57%, Peterborough 60%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 60%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Mansfield Town's trading profile (74 games, 36 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 60% of their matches — today it did.
Peterborough's trading profile (74 games, 36 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 61% of their matches — today it did.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Mansfield Town 1.26 PPG, Peterborough 1.20 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Peterborough win broke the near-deadlock. Mansfield Town (home/away splits) shipped 2 against a 1.19 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Peterborough (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 1.17 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 1 against a 1.81 average — tighter than their form line.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
