Oxford United
Saturday’s football game at Oakwell pits together Barnsley and Oxford United, the two top-table sides. The start of the season has been a mixed bag for Barnsley, with the team beating Port Vale 7-0, sharing the spoils with Bristol Rovers, while losing to Peterborough, but they are still seen as favourites to beat the Yellows at home ground. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Oxford United.
Meanwhile, the visitors aim to build on back-to-back wins over Carlisle United and Derby County. The Yellows have been showing signs of improvement of late and given Barnsley’s under-par performance in the midweek defeat, the share of spoils is on the horizon at Oakwell. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Wales forward Mark Harris, who scored a brace in the Pride Park showdown.
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.
