Recent respective form guides

Wrexham will be hoping to improve on their poor home form, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. Dragons have conceded a disappointing 6 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Mansfield Town's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Stags have hit 5 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Wrexham's 59 points from 39 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position. Mansfield Town see themselves just below half way in the Blue Square (Conference) Premier, showing a record of 51 points from their 39 games played so far,
