Mansfield Town prepare to entertain Shrewsbury Town at Field Mill on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Stags are clearly on top, having won 15 and lost only 6 of the 27 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Field Mill was just last season, in February 2007, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Two match.

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
