Barnsley have lost each of their last three games without finding the back of the net but have a real opportunity here to get back to winning ways against a Cambridge side that looked resigned to relegation and come into this fixture having lost each of their last four games, only scoring once across these games.

Cambridge have struggled all season, they’ve only managed to win seven of their 37 games in League One with only two of these wins coming on the road – the worst away record of any side in the division. Only Crawley (44) have conceded more goals on the road than the 36 Cambridge have shipped this season. The initial meeting between these sides ended in a 1-1 draw but Barnsley would have felt that they could have got more out of the game seeing as they controlled the ball (62% possession) as well as winning the xG battle (1.20-0.67).

It’s been a season of false starts for Barnsley who are now under the guidance of former player Conor Hourihane. This turbulence has seen Barnsley drift away from the playoff spots as other sides have seized the initiative and made promotion an unlikely outcome. However, this will be a game in which Barnsley can make the most of their opponent’s shortcomings this season. Hourihane will be eager to improve on Barnsley’s poor home record which is probably what has cost them more than most factors this campaign, they’ve only won five games on home turf this season.

Nathan Jones has done really well with this Charlton side who look primed for a strong finish to the season after a strong run of form which sees them sit fourth in League One, comfortably in the playoff positions with six points between the Addicks and Bolton who are just outside the playoff spots. This recent form has seen Charlton lose just one of their last 13 games in League One which was against runaway leaders Birmingham.

They travel to a Peterborough that has found some form themselves despite their underwhelming position in the league table. Darren Ferguson’s side are unbeaten across their last seven games but have only managed to win three of these games. This unbeaten streak stretches back to their meeting with Charlton in early February in which the home side managed to run out 2-1 winners which is a similar sort of scoreline we could see here.

The lower leagues can be difficult to manage, especially with the frenzy that usually accompanies the last few weeks of the season as sides scramble to finish in a playoff spot or avoid relegation. Peterborough can be freescoring but their record across the campaign as a whole suggests that this hasn’t been enough to guarantee the results. They’ve scored 53 goals this campaign which is more than any of the bottom 13 sides in League One but they’ve also shipped 60 – only the bottom three sides in the division have conceded more goals than Darren Ferguson’s side.

There isn’t too much riding on this game, both sides look resigned to a mid-table finish with no real jeopardy of relegation for Northampton and a slim chance of Blackpool forcing their way into the playoff picture. However, this seems to have relaxed Northampton in particular who have seen BTTS in each of their last five games in League One which has included games against Stockport and Birmingham.

Blackpool have seen BTTS in three of their last five games in League One, including each of their last two outings against Leyton Orient and Cambridge. Northampton’s home games have been quite entertaining this term, seeing 44 goals across their 18 home games (2.44 per game). Blackpool’s away fixtures are even more standout when it comes to entertainment, seeing 57 goals across their 19 trips this campaign (3.0 per game).

The metrics line up well for BTTS here again, although neither side will be pushed by motivation at either end of the table, the game should be played in an open manner especially given the recent run Northampton have seen when it comes to both teams finding the back of the net.

Wimbledon host Barrow with this game representing a brilliant opportunity for Wimbledon to cement their spot not just within the playoff spots but in pushing for automatic promotion to League One. Only Walsall and Bradford can boast better home records in League Two than Wimbledon this season who have won 12 of their 19 games on home territory this campaign. They’ve only conceded 12 goals across these games which is a real strength of Johnnie Jackson’s side. Only Bradford (11) have conceded fewer goals at home in League Two this season than Wimbledon.

This could end up being particularly problematic for Barrow who have scored the second-fewest goals on their travels in League Two this season (12). It’s not surprising to see Barrow towards the bottom of the form table for away performances given the issues they’re having with putting the ball in the back of the net – they’ve only won three of their 18 away games in League Two this season, losing 12 of these games. The difference between these two sides when comparing their home and away records could not be more different and sets up Wimbledon well to come away with all three points here.

Wimbledon ran out 3-1 winners over Barrow in the meeting between these sides earlier in the season. They were pretty comprehensive in their victory despite only having 39% of the ball. They managed to generate an xG of 2.61 to Barrow’s 0.52 as well as having more shots, shots on target, and big chances than their opponents.

Wales look like a new side under Craig Bellamy and will be really optimistic about their chances of qualifying for the World Cup looking at their group. Aside from Belgium, Wales will feel like this group is there for the taking with the rest of the spots filled up by North Macedonia, Liechtenstein, and their opponents here in Kazakhstan.

Kazakhstan really struggled in their Nations League B group, finishing bottom with no wins and remarkably, not scoring a single goal. They conceded 15 goals across their six games with their opponents scoring 3+ goals in three of these fixtures – notably, these were all away games.

Wales showed their progression under Craig Bellamy with a 4-1 win at home against Iceland to wrap up their Nations League group stage. They topped the group and didn’t lose a game, being particularly effective on home ground. This could be another real struggle for Kazakhstan judging by their performances in the group stages of the Nations League. Wales have the attacking talent to hurt this Kazakhstan side namely through Brennan Johnson and Dan James who have been bright for their club sides this season.

Carrillo sits right at the heart of LA Galaxy’s midfield, he’s a combative central midfielder as evidenced by the fact he’s already picked up two yellow cards across the opening four games of the MLS season.

He’s committed eight fouls across these four appearances (2.30 per 90) as well as averaging 1.68 fouls committed per 90 across his 38 MLS appearances last season. He picked up eight yellow cards across last campaign which was the second highest total in the squad only behind Ricard Puig (10).

He’ll be up against Hassani Dotson who averaged 1.32 fouls won per 90 across his 32 appearances in the MLS last season. Carrillo should be regularly tested with Minnesota set to match LA Galaxy for numbers in the middle of the park. This should see Carrillo live up to his foul average this season putting him in a good position to pick up a card here.
