Mansfield Town form and stats

This is not the first game this season in the FA Cup for Mansfield, as the manager Clough led his troops to eliminate Doncaster Rovers and Sunderland, and reach the 3rd Round. Last season their FA Cup adventure ended in the 3rd round.

7 victories, 3 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Mansfield Town have to build on here at One Call Stadium in the League Two.

The Mansfield supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Hartlepool United in League Two and win 3-2. The force was strong with Mansfield in their previous game playing Hartlepool United. It looked dark when they went behind 0-2 but thanks to goals from O'Toole, Maris and Bowery the match ended with a very strong 3-2 win. Midfield player Maris got a match rating of 8.51 in that game, the max score being 10. Maris scored one goal, served one assist and hit three key passes.

Ahead of that match, Mansfield Town won a home game hosting Salford City (2-1).

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Mansfield, as the League Two home game vs Swindon Town is only three days away.

Mansfield Town have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at One Call Stadium with 20 goals in 13 league matches. Mansfield's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 15 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Middlesbrough form and stats

Middlesbrough was sent out of FA Cup in the 3rd round last season.

Playing away, Middlesbrough have won 4 games, drawn 4 and suffered 4 defeats in the Championship this season.

Middlesbrough play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Blackpool. Watmore came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Blackpool last time out, making the manager Wilder feel like a tactical genius. Late drama in the previous game, when Watmore scored the winning goal two minutes into stoppage time to defeat Blackpool. Midfield player Jones was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.22/10. Jones signed up for two assists, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Nottingham Forest in the Championship.

The attacking power of Middlesbrough when travelling is not overwhelming with 11 goals scored from 12 league matches away. Middlesbrough have conceded 12 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Head to head totals (for the preceeding two meetings): Mansfield won zero games, one match ended with a tie and Middlesbrough managed one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: one / one
