📝 Match Preview: Mansfield Town (A)

It's Friday night football under the lights for the Grecians this week when we travel to take on Mansfield Town at the One Call Stadium.

On the back of Saturday's 1-1 draw at Bristol Rovers, City are now nine matches unbeaten in Sky Bet League Two and travel to face the league's other in-form side. The Stags are unbeaten in 13 league matches, winning ten, and have propelled themselves right into the promotion mix. Indeed, they have only lost once since their 2-1 defeat at St James Park in October. They recorded a 2-0 win over Bradford City in their last outing. 

Kit

The Grecians will be in our anthracite grey and pink away kit for this match.

Matt Taylor's Thoughts

Mansfield are 13 matches unbeaten in the league - winning ten - and will be a stern test of Taylor's side, and he expects it to be a great game. 

"It feels like a really big game - it'll be a great spectacle of two good sides in good form," he said.

"All good runs must come to an end, we've experienced that. They are a really impressive team but we have to back ourselves or there is no point going all that way.

"We have to nullify the opposition but also play our own game. We're boosted by some great performances at big grounds, such as Swindon and Bradford."
