Our read before the game

Barnsley's bottom-half form against Cambridge's top-six push makes goals the safer lead than any winner.

Barnsley sit 19th in League One hosting a Cambridge United side fifth in the table, a gap bigger than the head to head suggests. With no confirmed team news to lean on, the safer read is goals rather than a winner, and the double chance options carry the table gap better than a straight result bet.

Written Wed 14 Oct, about 86 hours before kick-off, and left as it was.
