Mansfield Town form and stats

With 2 League Two wins, 6 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Mansfield Town are certainly not brimming with confidence. Mansfield has recorded two wins in a row here at One Call Stadium, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.

Mansfield manager N. Clough and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Colchester United (placed 17th) in the League Two. Preceding that game was the away draw at Walsall that finished 1-1.

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 have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won three times, drawn five and lost six.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Mansfield as they have a new game in only three days, a League Two match thankfully also at home. Cambridge United are visiting.

The Mansfield fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 12 matches. Mansfield Town's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 17 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
