Match Preview
Mansfield played out a goalless draw with a free-falling Peterborough side on Tuesday night as the Stags left the Weston Homes Stadium with a point and a clean sheet. Nigel Clough's side are unbeaten in five heading into their final League One fixture of the season.
Cardiff made no mistake against 24th-placed Northampton last time out as Ollie Tanner's brace set up a dominant 5-1 win over the Cobblers. The Welsh club haven't let up after securing promotion and are chasing a fourth straight league win on the final day.
