Edge Analysis
The market makes Barnsley the side to beat here at 39%, but only just, so this reads as a close call rather than a mismatch. Our model lands on Cambridge United, and it backs that with a 2 units stake. Cambridge arrive in solid unbeaten form while Barnsley keep sliding down the table. The away price looks very fair given recent results.
Barnsley come in poor, winning 30% of 40 on record. 8 of their 21 home games went their way, and the numbers point to a side that scores freely. Right now they are on 1 loss in a row.
Cambridge United come in patchy, winning 40% of 10 on record. 1 of their 4 away games went their way, and the numbers point to a side that scores freely. Right now they are on 1 win in a row.
The prices turn into 39% for BAR, 25% for the draw and 36% for CAM once the bookmaker margin is stripped out. There is little between the two in the market, so the edge, if there is one, sits in the detail rather than the headline price. Our call sits at 2.60, and we only stake it because the reasons for it outweigh the reasons against.
- Cambridge have picked up three draws in their last five outings which shows they sometimes struggle to turn one point into three.
