Oxford v Fleetwood
Fleetwood's four-game winning streak came to an end at Rotherham on Saturday but John Sheridan's men can return to triumphant ways at Oxford in Sky Bet League One.

The Cod Army had enjoyed four straight wins to nil before slipping to a 3-2 loss at the New York Stadium.

Fleetwood have never lost in seven league showdowns with Oxford, winning three out of three at the Kassam Stadium, and Karl Robinson's new charges have failed to win in four games under the former MK Dons chief.

Recommendation
Fleetwood
1pt 2-1 bet365, Betway

Stevenage v Mansfield
It’s no wins in seven for Mansfield since Steve Evans jumped ship for Peterborough and they've got to be worth taking on at improving Stevenage.

The Stags, missing key defenders David Mirfin and Mal Benning, have crashed out of the Sky Bet League Two playoff places and Saturday's 4-3 home defeat to Crewe, where they were 4-1 down after 27 minutes, was a horror show.

While Mansfield and new boss David Flitcroft are struggling, Stevenage have come to life under Dino Maamria. It's one defeat in six for Borough, who were excellent winning 1-0 at Newport at the weekend.

Recommendation
Stevenage draw no bet
1pt 11-10 general

Preston v Leeds
In the Sky Bet Championship, North End boast the worst home record of any side in the top 15 which has to offer Leeds encouragement for their hop across the Pennines.

Preston have failed to win 13 of their 20 league matches at Deepdale. They have lost four of their last five, the only win coming at lowly Sunderland.

Leeds are themselves in no great shakes – they've had only two wins since Boxing Day – and a handful of injuries mean boss Paul Heckingbottom will blood some Elland Road youngsters and fringe players.

Under no pressure, however, and away from their own demanding supporters, there is no reason to think Leeds will subside against a meek Preston, who can also forget about the playoffs.

Recommendation
Leeds-draw double chance
1pt 13-11 188Bet
