History of the Bury v Mansfield Town fixture

Mansfield Town face a trip to Bury at Gigg Lane on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 33 games played, Stags have recorded 7 wins, and Bury have come away with 16 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in April 2006, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Bury's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. The Shakers have conceded a disappointing 11 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 1 of their own chances.

Mansfield Town's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. Stags have conceded 6 goals in these games, and only hit 3 in reply.

Bury are currently lying in 20th place in Coca-Cola League Two having mustered a points tally of 49 from their 45 matches played. Mansfield Town find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 53 points from their 45 matches.
