History of the Mansfield Town v Bury fixture

Mansfield Town prepare to entertain Bury at Field Mill on Tuesday evening,

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Field Mill was just last season, in December 2006, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a League Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Mansfield Town could not have a worse home record, losing every single one of the last six matches played! While Stags have scored 4, a worringly large 15 have been leaked at the other end.

Bury's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the The Shakers have hit 4 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Mansfield Town are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League Two with a return of just 28 points from their 31 games thus far. Bury are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 32 points from 32 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Mansfield Town at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Stags will at least gain a draw. No-score draw

Sequence statistics:
Mansfield Town	Been beaten in each of their previous 7 home matches. Failed to win in previous 7 home matches. Not drawn a match in their last 16 .
Bury	7 games since last away draw.
