Mansfield Town prepare to entertain Stockport County at Field Mill on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Stags are clearly on top, having won 24 and lost only 7 of the 41 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Field Mill was just last season, in August 2006, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Mansfield Town's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Stags have scored 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Stockport Co.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The Hatters's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 9 goals for and 8 against.
Mansfield Town are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 1 points from 3 matches. Stockport Co. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola League Two, picking up 5 from their 3 games so far.
