Cambridge United will try to continue their good form when they play Barnsley in League One this weekend. The team, currently placed high in the standings, meet a Barnsley side that has allowed many goals this season.
Manager Neil Harris recognized the difficulty of the match. "They're a very young side that has got a lot of energy," he said about Barnsley. He mentioned their speed in attack and how they can damage other teams, but also referenced their problems in defense and their limited number of wins. Harris stated.
Cambridge United form
The team has been defeated only one time since coming back to League One and has not lost in several matches in all tournaments. Their positive beginning included a narrow win against Blackpool last weekend, which gave them their first shutout of the season. That outcome, achieved by a late goal, came after another win against Northampton in October. Harris said the clean sheet was significant for his team's progress.
Team news
Fitness issues remain for the game at Oakwell. Several players are nearing a return from injury but are not expected to be ready for the Barnsley match. Their unavailability means Harris will probably use the same group of players who have earned the recent successes, testing the team's available options.
Barnsley, positioned near the bottom of the table, hope to achieve another home victory. Harris said every match in the league is challenging for his team, but with Cambridge United's good record from their recent games, the mood is positive.
Cambridge United's next fixture is away at Barnsley on Saturday, 17 October.
