Mansfield Town

WDDLLL 📉

Mansfield Town will be looking to improve on their last outing here after the 1-0 League Two defeat last time out to Harrogate Town.

Aaron Martin (46') scored for Harrogate Town.

It’s been seldom in recent times where Mansfield Town have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that The Stags have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 10 goals in the process.

Their prior results show that Mansfield Town:

• have not been beaten in the league by Morecambe in their previous 8 games. A long run without a loss.
• have not registered a win against Morecambe in their previous 3 matches in the league.
• haven’t won at home in the past 2 league games.

Morecambe

LDDLWW 🌤

Morecambe will go into this meeting following on from a 2-1 League Two win in the defeat of Salford City in their last match.

For Morecambe, goals were scored by Carlos Mendes (90') and Aaron Wildig (90'). Brandon Thomas-Asante (45') scored for Salford City.

Morecambe have been effective going forward in the lead-up to this encounter, scoring 8 times in their last 6 matches. Having said that, The Shrimps have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 6 of those same matches. That kind of trend won’t necessarily be sustained into this game, of course.

Heading into this contest, Morecambe haven't won against Mansfield Town when they have played them away from home in the previous 3 league games.
