Mansfield Town prepare to entertain Rushden & Diamonds at Field Mill on Tuesday evening, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Half of the previous meetings have ended in defeat for Stags.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Field Mill was just last season, in January 2009, when they played out a goalless draw in a (Conference) Premier match.
