The Stags are on a little slide at the moment in League Two without a win in any of their last four games now and really need to dig deep to turn around their fortunes. They won’t get an easy game against Exeter on the weekend, even though the Grecians themselves have fallen out of form after back to back defeats. Mansfield are going off as 21/20 favourites on home soil with Skybet to claim a win here, with Exeter at 5/2 with Ladbrokes.

Mansfield Town FC
Exeter City FCSo the Stags have collected only the one win in their last six league games now in a W1 D2 L3 record which obviously isn’t great. That was after a six-match unbeaten streak of form that they were on. They are winless in their last four games now in the league but they have scored in all but two of their last eight league games, it’s just their defence which has been letting them down. That’s a worry. They haven’t been bad at home this season with a pretty handy W4 D2 L1 record and that lone defeat happened in their last home game which was against Swindon. The Stags have averaged two goals per game at home this term.
Exeter Form
Exeter have been a very strong away side this season with a W4 D2 L1 record. They are going into this fixture after back to back home losses against Luton and then Port Vale which was a major set back to their ambitions. Of the top sides in the division, Exeter are the one who are probably carrying the least amount of forward power in them and have built a lot off of their defence, But with that getting just a little shaky with only two clean sheets in their last seven, then they need to get back some strength. That having been said they have taken a clean sheet in their last two away games.
Head to Head News
Exeter were on top last season in the league meetings, winning both of them against the Stags. Mansfield have just the one victory in their last five League Two meetings with the Grecians now, losing the other four. They have lost each of their last three League Two home games against Exeter, going winless in four against them at Field Mill.
Top Betting Tips
The draw isn’t without its appeal in this one. Mansfield have scored well on home soil this season and Exeter’s wobbles recently have been on home soil. They have remained strong away from home but may just lack the cutting edge to produce the victory.
