The story so far in the League Two for Harrogate Town at their home stadium (CNG Stadium) is 3 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats. It's been an uphill battle for Harrogate in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here.

A strong away win for Harrogate against Tranmere Rovers the last match, as Pattison and Muldoon were on target.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Sutton United (0-1).

Mansfield Town form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Mansfield Town so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-5 (win-draw-lose). The fact that Mansfield have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting.

O'Toole, Maris and Bowery scored in Mansfield Town's previous match, the home game against Hartlepool United that ended 3-2. Mansfield Town can call themselves comeback kings after the match against Hartlepool United. Buried deep in trouble at 0-2, the troops rallied and completely turned the match around to a 3-2 victory. Maris scored the final goal. Midfielder Maris was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.51. Maris scored one goal, served one assist and hit three key passes.
