Stockport County
- Stockport County have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five League One matches.
- Stockport County are 5th in the League One table with 71 points from 42 matches, while Mansfield are 14th with 55 and they look unlikely to trouble the Hatters on Tuesday.
- Stockport County are a pro-active, front-foot team while Mansfield Town are a more re-active, sit-back and be compact side - these two clubs should make for a fascinating tactical matchup.
Mansfield Town
- Mansfield Town have won five, drawn eight and lost seven of their 20 away matches in League One 2025/2026.
- Mansfield, on the other hand, have been organised and compact throughout their time under Clough, who took over in November 2020.
Head-to-Head
- The reverse fixture, which was won by County 2-1 away from home, was the third meeting of these sides in League One 2025/2026 and it has produced one win each and a draw in that time.
- County have failed to win their last two at home against Mansfield, but they have a better home record (W12, D4, L4), more attacking firepower, and sit higher in the table, so the hosts should come out on top.
Key Players
- Kyle Wootton, the talisman up front, has scored 18 goals in 41 League One appearances this season and is always a threat.
- Creative midfielder Oliver Norwood controls the tempo of the play from deep and has the ability to pick out a vertical pass over the top, and Will Evans is Mansfield Town's top scorer with 8 goals in 40 League One matches.
- Lucas Akins has been in great form for Mansfield of late, scoring three of his side’s last nine goals in five games, and will be a threat if he plays again.
Betting Insights
- Stockport are clear favorites at 1.8 for the win, while Mansfield are 4.0 outsiders, which seems a bit big given the Stags have only lost one of their last five (W1, D3, L1).
- Opposing goals are never a good option when Stockport are involved, but the Over 2.5 goals bet is available at a shade of even odds (1.73), which is too good to pass up.
- Stockport County have conceded just 22 goals in their 20 home league matches this season.
Prediction
But County should take all three points against a tough, but limited, Mansfield Town side on Tuesday.
