Prediction
- The hosts haven't been in their best form in the last 5 weeks and Cambridge have been extremely solid, so the visitors have the slight edge for this one.
- We're going for the away win here, but it could be a close 2-1 result, Barnsley will push forward for the win, but Cambridge can hold them off.
- The game is a clash of Daniel Stendel's high-tempo, counter-pressing 4-2-3-1 system against Neil Harris' pragmatic, organisation-based shape, which has been disciplined, compact and strong in transition and set-piece scenarios.
- Both teams can create chances in this one, but the turnovers will likely be the key for Barnsley, and the defensive steel will be the winner for the U's.
