Barnsley vs Oxford United Predictions

Oxford can take the away win and add to Barnsley’s recent woes when they visit Oakwell on Saturday.

They are 16 places above Barnsley in the table, with the two sides separated by 11 points. The hosts sit 23rd having won two of their 11 games this season, while Oxford are seventh with five wins, four draws and one defeat.

The hosts have found it hard to keep things tight defensively this season, with Barnsley unable to keep a clean sheet in all five of their League One home games. They have failed to keep their opponents at bay in nine straight league games.

The visitors are a potent attacking force. Oxford have scored two goals or more in six of their ten League One games this season.

The hosts are enduring a slump, with six of Barnsley’s last seven League One matches ending in defeat. They have now lost their last four league games and haven’t tasted victory in seven.

Oxford are in better form than Barnsley. They have not lost in seven League One games and have won five of their last seven away games. In contrast, Barnsley have failed to win nine of their last ten home games.

Oxford’s 2-1 away win looks a decent correct-score bet. Barnsley’s last four League One matches have had three or more goals, and they have lost three games on the spin by a single goal.
