History of the Carlisle United v Mansfield Town fixture

Carlisle Utd. are ready to welcome Mansfield Town to Brunton Park Stadium on Saturday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Cumbrians are clearly on top, having won 16 and lost only 7 of the 30 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Brunton Park Stadium was within the last three years, in November 2001, with Mansfield inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Cumbrians in a League Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides

Carlisle United's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Cumbrians have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Mansfield's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Stags have hit 9 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Carlisle Utd. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 17 games have yielded only 5 points. Mansfield are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 32 points from 17 games.
