Football League One is back underway as Oxford Utd locks horns with Barnsley at the Kassam Stadium.

The home side, Oxford Utd will head into this game on the back of a terrible run of performances which has seen them drop to 14th position in the league table with just 35 points to show for their efforts. They are currently on a 2 game losing streak, where they suffered 2-0 defeats back to back, without scoring a single goal themselves and that will most certainly hamper their confidence going into this game. In their last 5 games, Oxford Utd have suffered three huge defeats and they only managed to win twice. Going into this game, Oxford are on a very poor home run as they have lost two of their last 3 home games in all competitions. At the defense, Oxford have been shambolic as they have shipped away 33 goals so far this season.

Barnsley on the other hand will head into this game in excellent form and will be looking to make a statement here. They sit in 6th position with 43 points so far this season, and they will be hoping to climb higher up the league table. Barnsley will head into this game on the back of a 3-1 victory over Accrington Stanley their last time out and they will hoping for a repeat of that result. On the attack, Barnsley have been very ruthless as they have found the back of the net a total of 33 times this season. While at the back, they have been equally impressive as they have conceded just 24 goals all season, making them the 4th best defense in the league.

Looking at the records have shown that Barnsley have the clear advantage going into this game. Barnsley are currently on a 3 game unbeaten run against their hosts, winning emphatically on two occasions and sharing a point in their last meetings. In that time period, Barnsley scored a total of 9 goals, showing how potent they are on the attack. We are backing Barnsley here as we expect them to do enough to avoid a defeat, either by securing a victory or by earning a well fought draw.
