Prediction: 2-0
Cambridge United
Following a goalless draw with Cheltenham Town, Barnsley will be aiming to return to winning ways in the League One when they take on Cambridge United on Friday afternoon. The Tykes were having their ups and downs before the international break, but they are still seen as favourites to beat the U’s in front of home fans. Devante Cole is pushing for a recall, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Yellows, on the other hand, are stuck in the danger zone, only three points clear of bottom four. As Cambridge United experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-0 loss to Reading, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on Barnsley. All Glenn McConnell, George Thomas, Brandon Haunstrup, and Harrison Dunk are out of contention through injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Barnsley):
Barnsley are an English club nicknamed the Tykes. The club was founded in 1887 and it has to be noted that they spend more seasons in the Championship than any other club in the history. The Tykes played in the Sheffield and District League from 1890, but in 1895 they were part of the Midland League. Barnsley play their home games at Oakwell, the stadium that was built in 1887.
The capacity of the stadium is 23,009 and it was opened back in 1888, just one year after the club’s foundation. The Tykes made it to the FA Cup final in 1910, but Newcastle United proved to be a big catch for the Oakwell outfit in the title game.
Nonetheless, Barnsley won the FA cup trophy in 1912 and that is considered the club’s biggest success. Barnsley defeated West Bromwich Albion in the two-legged tie (0-0, 1-0) to clinch the prestigious trophy for the first and only time in their history.
