This game can not go any worse than the last one, a League Two home defeat versus Forest Green Rovers with 3-4 on the scoreboard. A loss against Grimsby Town was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Leading 2-0 was not enough for Mansfield Town in their fight with Forest Green Rovers last time out. Happy faces soon turned sour as mistakes flourished in what ended up a 3-4 loss. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Mansfield Town, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
