Mansfield Town form and stats
Last season, Mansfield Town's Carabao Cup journey ended in the 1st round.The Mansfield Town coach Clough and his side return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Crewe Alexandra. Opportunity lost for Mansfield in the Crewe Alexandra match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw. Keillor-Dunn, a striker, was the highest rated player for the team in that fixture, and was presented with a rating of 9.82 (out of 10). Keillor-Dunn scored two goals, hit the woodwork once, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 23 successful passes (of 27 total).
Before that match, a League Two win away at Colchester United.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Mansfield Town have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 3 and lost 5.
