Verdict

Considering the head-to-head comparison and the current form for each team, Barnsley seems to have the upper hand in this match. Their historic success against Oxford United and their recent convincing win signals that they are the team to beat. However, football is a game of uncertainty, and Oxford United's recent victory against Derby County suggests they can cause an upset.

From a betting perspective, a Barnsley win seems a plausible outcome. "Over 1.5 goals" also seems a safe bet considering the recent scoring form of both teams. However, bettors are advised to stake responsibly as football can be unpredictable.
