REF’s picks

Oxford United arrive in much sharper form than Mansfield Town and look well-equipped to claim all three points at a very appealing price. The visitors sit comfortably higher in the League One table and have been scoring freely on their travels lately. Mansfield, meanwhile, have struggled for consistency and failed to win most of their recent outings against top-half sides.

1. 1Oxford bring an unbeaten five-match run featuring 12 goals into this fixture.
2. 2Mansfield have managed just one win in their last five matches across all competitions.
3. 3An away win always carries risk given Mansfield's stubborn defensive displays at home, such as their clean sheet against Huddersfield.
