Mansfield Town are ready to welcome Rushden & Diamonds to Field Mill on Saturday evening, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Stags lost the only previous game contested between the two teams.
The only previous meeting between Mansfield Town and Rushden & D. at was within the last three years, in March 2002, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-4 winners in a League Division Three match.

Mansfield Town find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 24 points from their 20 matches. Rushden & D. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 21 points from 20 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
