Mansfield's equivalent run reads 6 wins, 6 draws and 8 losses, with 32 scored and 36 conceded. They've mixed a 5-2 win over Luton with a 5-0 defeat away at Reading, and their last two league outings have both ended in draws, 0-0 with Huddersfield and 2-2 at Burton Albion.

Neither team has looked settled defensively, and both have shown they can score goals and ship them in the same breath.

Comparative Team Statistics: Wigan vs Mansfield Town

A history of tight contests

The last five meetings between these two have been closely matched. Wigan have won twice, Mansfield once, with two draws in between.

The two most recent games were both narrow, a 1-1 draw at Mansfield in October 2025 and a 2-1 Wigan win back in April 2026. There's been little to separate them lately.

This fixture rarely produces a one-sided scoreline.

Both clubs near the foot of the table

Mansfield currently sit 17th with 8 points from 7 games, having scored 10 and conceded 13. Wigan are lower still in 24th, with just 4 points from the same number of matches, scoring only 5 and conceding 12.

Wigan's home form this season has clearly been part of the problem, given how low their points total sits after seven outings.

A few names to note

Among the available player data, Mansfield's N. Moriah-Welsh and R. Hendry have each provided 2 assists in their recent appearances, suggesting they're the ones supplying chances going forward.

Wigan:

Penalty cards:

J. Carragher x 3

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 discipline, Mansfield's L. Reed and R. Sweeney have picked up 3 yellow cards apiece, while O. Dodgson has already been sent off once in just 4 games. Wigan's J. Carragher has also picked up 3 yellows. This isn't a full squad list, so it doesn't confirm who's actually available for this one.

Open enough, but recent meetings say otherwise

Judging by their broader form, both sides have shown they can be involved in high-scoring matches, Mansfield's 32-36 goal split and Wigan's 24-26 both point that way.

Yet head-to-head history tells a different story, with low-scoring, tight results being the norm between these two clubs in recent seasons.
