Oxford United is going head to head with Barnsley starting on 1 Feb 2023 at 19:45 UTC . The match is a part of the League One. Currently, Oxford United rank 14th, while Barnsley hold 6th position. Oxford have failed to build on their decent 2021-22 campaign, in which they finished eighth, and it would take a massive effort in the second half of the season to reach the playoffs, given that they are eight points adrift, having also played three extra games.
There have been some promising signs for the U’s at certain points, going on a run of 10 games without defeat earlier this season, although they drew six of these, struggling to close games out after taking the lead.
Another issue for Karl Robinson’s side has been inconsistency, best displayed by the fact they have beaten third-placed Ipswich Town and fifth-placed Bolton Wanderers, but looked very poor against teams at the other end of the table, drawing with Forest Green Rovers and losing to MK Dons.
The U’s would have been hoping that their 2-1 triumph against Ipswich towards the end of January was a turning point in their season, with that result taking them up to 10th place in the table and in reach of the playoffs.

Oxford Utd vs Barnsley Prediction
We say: Oxford United 1-2 Barnsley
Barnsley bounced back from a three-game losing streak in emphatic style against Accrington in their last match, and this should give them the confidence to pick up their first away victory of 2023.
However, Oxford have shown that they have what it takes to go toe-to-toe with the better sides in the league this season, and so the visitors are unlikely to run away with it.
