Recent respective form guides

Cheltenham Town's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Robins have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Mansfield Town is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. While the Stags have hit 5 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Cheltenham T. see themselves just below half way in the Coca Cola League Two, showing a record of 20 points from their 15 games played so far, Mansfield Town are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 13 points from 15 matches.
