REF’s picks

AFC Wimbledon hold a slight edge at home with the quarter-goal cushion against a Mansfield side that draws frequently on their travels. Backing Wimbledon +0.25 offers solid value in a tightly contested League One fixture where past meetings heavily point toward close scorelines.

1. 1Wimbledon have shown defensive resilience at home, keeping clean sheets against Doncaster and Milton Keynes recently.
2. 2Mansfield's tendency to share the points on the road (drawing three of their last five overall) makes the quarter-ball head start very appealing.
3. 3Head-to-head history is littered with stalemates, meaning a narrow away victory could instantly defeat this handicap selection.
