Mansfield Town prepare for another game following their 1-0 result vs Barrow, a fixture that produced some answers. Will they show it against Walsall?
- Mansfield Town have not yet lost a game at home.
- Mansfield Town have scored at least twice as many goals at home as Walsall have scored away.
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!
Mansfield Town form and stats
3 victories, 2 draws and 0 defeats. That’s what Mansfield Town have to build on here at One Call Stadium in the League Two.
A good away victory last time out for Mansfield, who won 1-0 against Barrow (placed 9th). Hewitt, defender, was given a rating of 7.43/10 in that game, top of the team. Hewitt hit one key pass and won 7 of 11 duels.
A 1-1 scoreline against Derby County (after extra-time, 6-5 on penalties) before that, played at home in the EFL Trophy.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Mansfield Town at home in the league. 10 on target and 5 scored by the opposition; from 5 matches.
Walsall form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Walsall so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-3 (win-draw-lose).
Walsall had fun at their own home (One Call Stadium) last time out, beating AFC Wimbledon 3-1. Knowles, Hutchinson and Johnson scored. Midfield player Hutchinson was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.33/10. Hutchinson scored one goal, served one assist and hit one key pass.
Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Northampton Town.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Walsall playing away, we found 6 games. Results were 0 away wins, 5 draws and 1 home win.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Milton Keynes Dons in just three days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Walsall as they have only managed to score 4 times from 6 away games in the league.
