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. The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Mansfield has won five games in a row. The Southend United match was the last time out without a victory. Mansfield has recorded two wins in a row here at One Call Stadium, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.
Happy days for Mansfield in their previous game, a League Two match away at Southend United (placed 24th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. A strong away win before that one, visiting Oldham Athletic and winning 3-2.
This is expected to be a close game, with Mansfield Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Mansfield as a small favourite), we find 17 games. Mansfield Town has won four of these, drawn six and lost seven.
Mansfield are traveling soon after this match as the League Two match at Walsall awaits in four days.
Mansfield has scored 16 league goals at home this season, in 12 matches. Mansfield Town have conceded 17 in these home matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Bolton Wanderers form and stats
4-4-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Bolton Wanderers in their League Two matches away.
Bolton Wanderers play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Tranmere Rovers (placed 10th). A draw for Wanderers before that, at their own venue hosting Cheltenham Town (1-1).
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Bolton Wanderers playing away and similar expectations, we found two relevant matches. Results were zero Bolton Wanderers wins, one draw and one defeat.
A new game in only four days for Wanderers, the League Two home match versus Leyton Orient. Busy days.
Wanderers have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 12 league away games 16 goals have been scored. Bolton Wanderers's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 20 goals from these trips.
