Cardiff U23 vs Barnsley U23 tips and predictions

Cardiff U23 might not justify short price

This isn't a confident view but the short price for Cardiff U23 makes them a horrible bet. Barnsley U23 don't look likely to get the job done but they can put up some resistance. With goals being far from abundant, a scoreless deadlock is the pick but it's certainly not one to go mad about.

Both sides have reasons to be confident of keeping it tidy in defence. Cardiff U23 have averaged 0.5 goals in their last 4 home starts which might not be ideal. Barnsley U23 are averaging 0.6 goals from their last 5 games.

In previous matches in this head-to-head, 2 of the last 4 have been draws.

Most previews are saying that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for Cardiff U23. Whatever happens, with the odds-against price on BTTS No that seems the better option this time around.

Cardiff U23 have drawn 2 of their last 6 matches adding to the fact that Barnsley U23 have drawn 5 of their last 9 matches. They shared the spoils with Swansea U23 last week and while any draw is predicted, a scoreline of 0-0 might be a good shout here. To wrap this up there is nothing to like about the home or away win odds. Stalemate beckons after what will probably be a tightly contested match-up.
