Cambridge United have been one of League One‘s early surprises and travel to a struggling Barnsley with just one defeat to their name all season (3pm kick-off).
Anthony Eadson’s Barnsley vs Cambridge United predictions, best bets and score prediction are all below.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson’s two best bets for Barnsley vs Cambridge United are below, with the full predictions grid and a score prediction underneath.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Second half to be the highest-scoring half | 1/1 (Ladbrokes) | The second half has been the busier half in five of Barnsley’s eight league games and six of Cambridge’s nine, so 11 of their 17 combined matches have seen more goals after the break. Cambridge are fifth and have lost just one of their last six, while Barnsley sit 19th and have struggled to hold on to leads. That points to a game that opens up late on. Ladbrokes have the second half as the highest-scoring half at evens. |
| Cambridge United and both teams to score | 4/1 (bet365) | Barnsley are far from watertight, with 15 goals conceded already and defeats in two of their four home games, but they do carry a threat at Oakwell. Cambridge, meanwhile, have found the net in every game this season and look the likelier winners. Backing the visitors to win in a game where both sides score caters for a Barnsley goal while still trusting Cambridge’s quality, and 4/1 is an appealing price given how open Barnsley have been at the back. |

How Barnsley go into the game
Barnsley go into the weekend 19th and leaking goals, having conceded 15 in eight games. They were beaten 3-1 at Stockport last time out, a fourth defeat of the season.
Oakwell has not been the fortress Barnsley need either, with two defeats in four there, and they will have to be far more resolute against an in-form Cambridge side.
How Cambridge United go into the game
Cambridge United have been the early-season surprise, sitting fifth with only one defeat in nine games. They beat Blackpool 1-0 at home last time out and have scored in every league game so far.
On the road they are yet to lose, with three draws and a win from four away trips, making them a tough test for a struggling Barnsley side.
