Mansfield Town form and stats

Mansfield Town have played 7 League Two games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-2-3 (wins-draws-losses). The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in ten attempts.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 378 minutes without scoring a league goal. D. Johnson was the last player to find the net.

Mansfield faced defeat in their previous match, away at Northampton Town (0-2). Stephen McLaughlin was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.14 out of 10. The defender McLaughlin hit one key pass and won 5 of 7 duels.

In the match before that, Mansfield hosted Oldham Athletic and drew the game 0-0.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Mansfield as they are travelling to their away game against Exeter City in the League Two. That match is four days after this one.

Mansfield are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 7 games. 10 goals have been conceded.

Port Vale form and stats

Playing away, Port Vale have won 3 games, drawn 1 and suffered 2 defeats in the League Two this season.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Sutton United wasn't a success with a 3-4 loss.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Colchester United in just four days.
