Mansfield Town are 11th in Sky Bet League One after 45 matches, with 62 points. It has been a successful campaign for Nigel Clough's side, who will significantly improve upon last term's 17th place finish.
Town have been difficult to play against all season, as shown by just one defeat since February 21st. Since the turn of the year, they've lost just four from 24 with 12 draws and eight wins.
The Stags also enjoyed some cup fun during the 2025/26, reaching the Emirates FA Cup fifth round before being narrowly beaten by Arsenal, while their Carabao Cup campaign ended with a trip to Everton's new ground.
Manager Clough has been in charge of Mansfield Town since November of 2020. They won promotion from League Two during the 2023/24 season and have continued going from strength to strength under his leadership.

KNOW YOUR OPPONENT | THE STAGS
City academy graduate Deji Oshilaja has started 34 times for Mansfield Town this season. The now 33-year-old has enjoyed a fantastic career in the EFL since departing Cardiff City Stadium, featuring as a key player for the likes of AFC Wimbledon, Charlton Athletic and Burton Albion before linking up with the Stags in 2024. He is a doubt for the weekend's game though, with an ankle issue.
In the league, Welshman Will Evans is the current top goalscorer of the Stags with eight strikes, but he is closely followed by Lucas Akins and Rhys Oates, who each have seven. Evans spent the start of his career netting regularly in the Cymru Premier before linking up with Newport County in 2022. After two seasons at Rodney Parade, Evans made the move to the One Call Stadium.
Goalkeeper Liam Roberts has the most League One starts for Mansfield Town this season, beginning 41 of their 45 fixtures.
