Win for Barnsley
Barnsley have one of the best home records in the English League One with 15 wins from the 20 matches. It is very unlikely that this record will be put to any big test by Oxford United given that the visitors are struggling on the road with only four wins from 21 games. Even though Oxford have done well to lose only one of the last six matches, they have been unable to pick up a victory in any of the games. This Barnsley vs Oxford prediction would go with a win for the home team.
Devante Cole to score anytime
Devante Cole has been Barnsley’s best player so far this season with 15 goals. The striker may not have produced a great performance against Lincoln in the goalless draw, but the Barnsley vs Oxford betting tips expect a big performance out of the striker coming into the weekend. Incredibly, the 27-year-old is still waiting for the first goals against Oxford United even after being involved in four appearances, which have all finished as a victory.
