Mansfield Town and Oxford United meet in League One, with the hosts having just won 2-1 in their last match, while the visitors also won 2-1, but in a different context, because Oxford United are still unbeaten in 5 straight league games. Mansfield Town have been strong at home, winning 3 and drawing 1 from 4 home matches, scoring an average of 2.3 goals per game, but their home defence also concedes an average of 1.0 goal per game. Meanwhile, Oxford United have produced satisfactory away form, winning 3 of 4 away matches, scoring an average of 2.3 goals per game and conceding 1.3 per game. Oxford United's season stats show 15 scored and 8 conceded in 7 matches, better than Mansfield Town's 12 scored and 14 conceded in 8 matches. This game is likely to be open and end-to-end, because both teams frequently score home and away, and Oxford United tend to score more in the second half than the first. If Mansfield Town take the lead first, the game could turn into a trading of blows, but if Oxford United control the tempo, it should finish without a big gap.
