National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Sheffield Wednesday or Mansfield Town that keep their silverware dream alive.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Sheffield Wednesday form and stats
Action has already taken place for Sheffield Wednesday in FA Cup as they have defeated Morecambe to reach the 2nd Round. Sheffield participated in FA Cup the last season, where they reached the 1st round replays.The home supporters can't complain about results here at Hillsborough Stadium as Sheffield Wednesday have scored 23 goals to get 21 points from 10 games. The overall stats in the League One are 6-3-1 (wins-draws-losses).
Nothing to worry about in defence for Sheffield Wednesday, as their goalkeeper David Stockdale has completely shut out the opponents for 188 minutes in the League One.

Mansfield Town form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Barrow in order to reach 2nd round of FA Cup. Mansfield Town was sent out of FA Cup in the 3rd round last season.The visitors are W5-D0-L5 on the road this term. That's in the League Two.
Mansfield are travelling again after losing away to Harrogate Town in their previous match (0-3). Mansfield Town did not look prepared in the first half against Harrogate Town and lost the game during the first 45 minutes. They need to evaluate their pre-match routine before this one.
