Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

Neither Barnsley or Cambridge are in the sort of form that would leave us feeling very confident in tipping a match winner, so instead we've gone for over 1.5 goals. The stats show that both have form in this market, both individually and when facing one another head-to-head. Our predictive algorithm suggests there's a 80% chance of two goals or more.

Goal Statistics

Barnsley's fans will be hoping for goals on Friday afternoon, not least because Cambridge United have conceded in each of their last 7 League One outings. A PG of 1.9 for Neill Collins's side suggests that run should continue.

Goals have been difficult to come by for Cambridge United of late. It has been 7 League One games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.1 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Friday afternoon against Barnsley.
