Mansfield Town travel to take on Cambridge United at Trade Recruitment Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Stags will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 6 and win only 2 of the 10 games.
The last time the two teams met at Cambridge U. was just over four years ago, in September 2004, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a League Two match.
