Recent respective form guides

Kettering Town's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. Poppies have conceded a disappointing 5 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 2 of their own chances.

Kettering Tn. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Blue Square (Conference) Premier, picking up 59 points from their 37 games so far. Mansfield Town's 57 points from 37 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 8th position.
