Cambridge have only won on one of their nine previous visits to Barnsley in the Football League (D3 L5), a 3-2 victory in April 1983, with this their first trip there since March 1993. Barnsley’s Bobby Thomas has scored two goals in his three league games for the Tykes this season, each coming in their last two fixtures; should he score in this match (22y 12d), he’ll be the youngest player for the club to score in three successive league appearances since Jacob Brown in April 2019 (21y 12d).
Cambridge are without a win in their last six league games (D2 L4), drawing each of their last two; they last draw three consecutive league games in October 2021. Burton Albion v Exeter City Since losing their first ever Football League meeting with Exeter in September 2012, Burton are unbeaten in each of their last six such games against the Grecians (W4 D2). Exeter are yet to beat Burton Albion as a visiting side in the Football League, losing on two of their three trips (D1).
MK Dons v Oxford United MK Dons beat Oxford 2-1 in the reverse meeting this season, as many wins as in their previous nine Football League games against them (D3 L5). Oxford won on their last visit to MK Dons in the Football League in December 2021 (2-1), after drawing three of their first four such trips there (L1). Just nine of MK Dons’ 28 points in League One have come at home this season, while they’ve already lost 10 times on home soil in 2022-23, only losing more in a single Football League campaign during their only season in the Championship in 2015-16 (13). Oxford have lost each of their last four league games; not since August 2018 have the U’s lost five successive league games. Morecambe v Forest Green Rovers Morecambe beat Forest Green 2-1 in September, and could do the league double over them for the first time since 2018-19.
