◆ CheckLive verdict
Evenly matched
Barnet are the bogey team Cambridge cannot shake — three away wins in four meetings, including a 1-0 in March. Barnet's own run is winless in five, yet CheckLive's read leans to the visitors, a narrow 53% lean rather than a commanding call.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who will win between Cambridge United and Barnet?
Barnet are the pick to win, taking three away victories in four meetings against Cambridge. The visitors also edge the underlying form and skill picture, and CheckLive's read leans their way despite Cambridge's five-game unbeaten run.
Are Barnet favourites despite their winless run?
Barnet are slight favourites, but only narrowly. Their five-game winless run is a real caveat, yet historical dominance over Cambridge — three away wins in four meetings — keeps CheckLive's read with the visitors.
Will both teams score in this tie?
Both teams scored in only one of the four meetings, and the average total sits at two goals. History points to a low-scoring cup tie, so backing no on both teams to score looks the smarter side.
