Experienced manager Nigel Clough brings his Mansfield side to Cardiff this coming weekend. Cardiff have won the last two League games at CCS although you can be forgiven for forgetting when they were.
Mansfield lost their last away League game 2 - 1 at Northampton a few weeks ago, but their previous League 1 game on the road was a 2 - 0 win at Luton in October.
-
This will be the first league meeting between Cardiff City and Mansfield Town since March 2003, with the Bluebirds winning seven of their last nine against the Stags overall (L2).
-
Mansfield Town have won just one of their 15 away league games against Cardiff City (D3 L11), a 2-1 success at Ninian Park back in December 1996.
-
Cardiff have won five of their last seven home league games (L2), two more victories than across their prior 16 home fixtures combined (W3 D6 L7).
-
Mansfield have lost each of their last three Football League games against sides from Wales, last enduring a longer losing run against teams from the country in the EFL between March 2002 and August 2003 (four losses).
