Footymad preview History of the Newport County v Mansfield Town fixture

Mansfield Town face a trip to Newport County at Newport Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Stags will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in September 2010, the Exiles carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a (Conference) Premier match.
