A test of nerve as much as quality when Cambridge United welcome Barnet.
Cambridge United welcome Barnet in the EFL Cup. We've crunched the numbers. Here's our preview.
The lead strikers on both sides carry the narrative here. Cambridge United will lean on whoever's hot in front of goal, while Barnet travel with the same brief: find a way past a back four that's been organised more often than not this season.
Goals are a tough one to call here. Cambridge United are scoring 1.5 a game (1.5 of those at home) and Barnet manage 3.3 (3.3 on the road). Add it up and it's basically a coin-flip whether we see three or more, we make it 49%, so there's no strong lean either way on the goals line. Whether both teams score is a genuine coin-flip, and we make it 45%.
Cambridge United do it the hard way: only 1.5 a game up top, but a mean 0.5 conceded. They're a tough nut to crack: they soak up pressure and hit you on the break. Barnet have goals in them (3.3 per game) but their record at the back (1.7 conceded) leaves them open. This could be end-to-end.
