Recent respective form guides

Accrington Stanley's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While The Reds have scored 9, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Mansfield Town is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. While the Stags have hit 5 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Accrington S. find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 6 points from their 6 matches. Mansfield Town are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 4 points from 6 matches.
