History of the Mansfield Town v Chesterfield fixture

Chesterfield travel to take on Mansfield Town at Field Mill at lunchtime on Saturday, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 35 games played, Spireites have recorded 12 wins, and Mansfield Town have come away with 16 victories.

The last time the two teams met at Mansfield Town was back in August 2002, over five years ago, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 2 winners in a League Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Mansfield Town's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. The Stags's have scored 8 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 10.

Chesterfield's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Spireites have hit 4 goals, 7 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Mansfield Town are currently lying in 19th place in Coca-Cola League Two having mustered a points tally of 4 from their 5 matches played. Chesterfield are currently occupying 2nd spot in their division, gaining 11 points from their 5 games.
