Top Oxford United vs Barnsley Prediction & Betting Tips

On the 1st day of February, we have the postponed match between Oxford United and Barnsley finally taking place.

Over 2.5 Goals

If you take a quick glimpse at the last three matches, you’ll see that the two teams have scored 13 goals! This is a very impressive feat and it would be quite surprising for the match on the 1st of February to be anything less than 90 minutes of outstanding football.

Considering that Oxford United conceded 33 goals this season, we can safely assume that coach Michael Duff’s boys will want to exploit their opponents’ vulnerability and hurt them.

Barnsley to Win

The Tykes are our favorites to win this match for a couple of reasons. First of all, they are higher up the ranking. Currently, in 6th place, Barnsley can’t afford to lose any more points if a promotion fight is what the players are after.

Second of all, the head-to-head advantage is completely in their favor. With three victories, one draw, and only one loss against Oxford United, we couldn’t have possibly provided you with a different Oxford United vs Barnsley prediction this week.

BTTS

Two of the last three matches between Oxford and Barnsley ended with both teams finding the net. As we mentioned above, neither manager can afford to lose points. Oxford United need them to escape the relegation zone for good and Barnsley require more points if they want to participate in the promotion fight this year.

With the season halfway over, there’s no more time for defensive lineups, outmaneuvering strategies, or surprises. The two teams must launch into full-scale attacks if they want to complete their objectives and this is definitely a good foundation stone for our Oxford United vs Barnsley prediction.

Our Oxford United vs Barnsley match preview will help you make the best possible League One bet.

Oxford United

The Yellows are certainly not enjoying clear skies in League One as two of the last three matches were lost. It would take quite a push from Karl Robinson’s boys to power through the Barnsley obstacle on the 1st of February as the team has a poor record against this opponent.

Barnsley

The only player who won’t partake in this event for Barnsley is the left winger Luke Thomas who’s suffering a leg fracture. However, Barnsley seem to be doing good in League One as after 25 games played, the players accumulated a total of 43 points. The team has three postponed matches yet to be played and we’re confident that Michael Duff would want to win at least two of them, making our Oxford United vs Barnsley prediction a sure thing.
