MANSFIELD TOWN v CAMBRIDGE UNITED
Saturday 3rd September 2016 – Kickoff: 1500hrs
Football – England – League Two Betting Tips
Hosts Mansfield Town will entertain bottom club Cambridge United at their One Call Stadium having made a solid start to the new League Two season as the home side currently sit in an encouraging fifth place ahead of this weekend.
Mansfield have won three of their first five league matches overall, while at home they still remain unbeaten with a record of 1-1-0 2/1 with a great chance of building upon this when Cambridge United come to town.
Wins over Newport County (away), Yeovil Town (at home) and last weekend’s great 2-1 win at Leyton Orient have lifted The Stags up into early play-off contention, and they can further strengthen their position with a win here this afternoon against Cambridge United.
Onto the visitors then, and Cambridge United currently sit bottom of the division after gaining just two points from a possible 15 on offer in the first five league matches of the new season. These points were both registered at their Abbey Stadium in stalemates with Barnet and Carlisle United, but away from home has been a different story.
The U’s have suffered back-to-back defeats on their travels so far with losses at Colchester United and Doncaster Rovers and although they secured a point last time out at today’s opponents Mansfield Town in their last away match of last season, it could be a very different result this time around.
Cambridge united tend not to travel too well in this division as they’ve registered just two league wins from their last ten trips, and with an early away record of 0-0-2 0/3 under their belts so far, this could be a long afternoon for them.
Pick: Mansfield Town AH0 @ 1.59 Bet Victor
