In the game before, a fine away victory at King's Lynn Town. A FA Cup match. The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

Mansfield Town form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their League Two travels is 5 wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats.
The regulars enjoyed Mansfield's previous match versus Colchester United (placed 22nd), a 2-1 win played at home. The end of the last match, against Colchester United, was very satisfying as Akins scored the winning goal deep into overtime. McLaughlin, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.8. McLaughlin served one assist, hit two key passes and won 7 of 10 duels.
A defeat, in the EFL Trophy away at Everton U21, earlier. Mansfield Town are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 1 draw and 5 defeats. From a total of 7 matches.
