Cambridge United welcome Barnsley at Abbey Stadium, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire on Saturday, Jan 16 at 4:00 PM in a League 1 fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.
Cambridge United come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Barnsley travel in mixed form (2W 1D 2L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
In 6 previous meetings, Cambridge United lead 1–3 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw.
Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Cambridge United clear favorites, but Barnsley have shown they can grind out results. Expect Cambridge United to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
