Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest there's no obvious winner in this fixture, but good reason to think Cambridge and Barnsley will score 2 or more goals between them. Goals have flowed freely when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither Garry Monk or Darrell Clarke has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s of late either. The bookies are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with best odds of 1.20 equating to roughly a 76% probability.
