Fans heading Field Mill on the weekend for this one may want to have an extra shot of espresso before they go. That’s because there has been just one goal scored in the last four between these at Field Mill. Both are actually sitting in the top seven in League Two heading into this weekend clash with 13 points having been collected by both from their respective eight games. So again, this is probably going to be close and both are defensively pretty solid. The Stags are 10/11 favourites at home to win this though with the U’s at 16/5.

Mansfield Town
Cambridge UtdMansfield Form
The Stages have remained unbeaten on home soil this season with two wins and two drawn matches. So pretty good. They have only suffered a defeat all season and that was at the high-flying Accrington. They are unbeaten in their last five with a W2 D3 record and they have claimed a clean sheet in their last two played. That’s three clean sheets for them this season and they have only conceded more than one goal in just one of their home games this season in the division.
Cambridge Form
Cambridge have relied heavily on their defence this season to get them up the table. It’s a dangerous game to play though. They have the joint third-best defensive record in the division but they have scored only seven goals in eight games and only bottom side Port Vale have scored fewer than that. Remarkably though they have posted a fantastic W4 D1 L1 record in their last six games and yes, all of their wins have been by just a one-goal margin. Away from home the U’s have a W2 L2 record, both away wins being recorded by a 1-0 scoreline.
Head to Head News
Mansfield collected four points from their two league meetings with Cambridge last season and they are unbeaten in their last four League Two games against them (W1 D3). So in the last four meetings in all competitions at Field Mill, there have been three 0-0 draws and a 1-0 away win for Cambridge (which happened in the FA Cup). Four of the six previous League Two clashes between these two have been drawn. The other two fixtures in the sequence saw both take a 3-1 victory.
Top Betting Tips
Well under 2.5 goals, the 0-0 correct score and both teams not score, they all have an appeal going into this one. This should be yet another tight battle between the two who don’t give up too much at the back. It’s just worth covering yourself by looking at a very tempting price of 23/10 on a draw in the match outright.
