Five facts
1. Cambridge have picked up back-to-back EFL clean sheets, while Mansfield have managed four in all competitions – and the two previous meetings between the clubs have finished goalless.
2. Plymouth have won five of their last seven matches against Cheltenham, with the other two drawn. The last three have gone the Pilgrims' way with maximum points, seven goals scored and zero conceded.
3. Portsmouth have won three of the five clashes between themselves and Crawley 3-0, including the reverse fixture at the beginning on September.
4. This weekend's fixture between Doncaster and Crewe brings up a century of meetings. Rovers have won 41 to Crewe's 32, with the spoils shared on 26 occasions.
5. Hartlepool are yet to beat Stevenage in 10 meetings between the two. It's seven in a row for Boro, who thumped Pools 6-1 in September's reverse fixture.
