Mansfield TownCambridge Form
Cambridge are on a good four-match unbeaten streak of form in the division at the moment (W2 D2) and they have been ticking over pretty well on home soil recently as well. They have gone W5 D1 L1 in their last seven fixtures at the Abbey Stadium and that means that they should be a decent threat in this one. They have won their last two at home, having taken down Barnet and Crewe and while Mansfield will be stiff opposition, the U’s look value to stick in there. They have six clean sheets in their last eleven league games and that should help force this game under 2.5 goals. Cambridge have been defensively solid all season and have averaged just 0.85 goals against at home this term.
Mansfield Form
The Stags are in good form as well at the moment with only the one defeat in their last thirteen league games and that was back on December 9th against Crawley. They go into this with back to back league wins under their belt and a five-match undefeated streak of form. They are really moving along nicely and while their away form is just W4 D5 L4 for the season, they have won three of their last five on the road (D1 L1). They haven’t collected a clean sheet in any of their last four league outings but then Cambridge are not a high scoring side at all. With them having only suffered one loss in their last seven road games, they should be strong enough to avoid defeat.
