Comparative Team Statistics: Blackpool vs Mansfield Town

A head-to-head with no clear pattern

The last four league meetings have gone Blackpool, Mansfield, draw, Mansfield in that order, dating back to October 2024. There's no home dominance or away hoodoo showing up in that stretch.

Older meetings between the clubs go back to League Two days nearly a decade ago, but that's too far removed to say anything about how either side plays now.

Level on points, close in the table

After seven games this season, both clubs sit on eight points with an identical two wins, two draws and three losses. Blackpool are 15th and Mansfield 17th, and the only real separator is goal difference, Blackpool's 13 for and against against Mansfield's 10 for, 13 against.

It's an early-season table, so positions can shift quickly, but right now there's barely anything between these two on paper.

Not much separating the personnel either

Mansfield's Moriah-Welsh and Hendry have both chipped in two assists in their recent matches, while Blackpool's Charles has matched that tally, so both sides have players contributing to attacking play at a similar rate.

Blackpool:

Best assist providers:

D. Charles - 2

Mansfield Town:

Best assist providers:

N. Moriah-Welsh - 2

R. Hendry - 2

Penalty cards:

O. Dodgson x 1

L. Reed x 3

R. Sweeney x 3

On the discipline side, Mansfield's Reed and Sweeney have each picked up three yellow cards in seven appearances, and Dodgson has already been sent off once in four games. That's a notable cluster of cards for one squad, though it's a partial list rather than a full disciplinary breakdown.

Mansfield's card count in this sample is worth watching, but it's not enough on its own to build a case around.
