This match features two teams living in the basement of the Non League Div One: Northern South, Gresley holding 20th place and AFC Mansfield lying 16th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Non League Div One: Northern South. That game was also an away game, at Marske United. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary. That match was played in the comfort of their own home stadium, hosting Marske United. There's been little rest and some travel, but AFC Mansfield will do their best.
Gresley form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories so far this season. Gresley, who have the most conceded goals (81) in Non League Div One: Northern South, have only managed 4 wins, 2 draws and 11 losses so far from their games here at The Moat Ground. With twelve home games in a row without a win, the Gresley fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Stamford game long ago, can be stopped today. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Gresley with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Wisbech Town game, 27 days ago, have they avoided a loss.The Gresley fans got no joy from their last match, a Non League Div One: Northern South game also here at The Moat Ground: A 0-3 defeat against Sheffield. Heartbreak before that as Gresley lost 0-1 at Lincoln United's place.
