Oxford United host Barnsley at Kassam Stadium, Oxford, Oxfordshire on Saturday, Jan 30 at 4:00 PM in the League 1.
Oxford United come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Barnsley travel in mixed form (2W 1D 2L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
Despite playing at home, Oxford United face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Barnsley have won 5 of 7 encounters, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Barnsley won 1–0. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Oxford United clear favorites, but Barnsley have shown they can grind out results. Expect Oxford United to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
