Manchester United vs Barnsley Prediction & Betting Tips - Carabao Cup
by Ian John | in Carabao Cup Predictions
Old Trafford will host the Carabao Cup Third round tie between Manchester United and Barnsley this week. The Red Devils come into this game in good spirits after a morale-boosting 3-0 win at the weekend away to Southampton. League One’s The Tykes are the massive underdogs in this match. Will our prediction back the favourites, or can the outsiders land an upset win?
Manchester United begin their quest to win the Carabao Cup with this home tie against Barnsley. Erik Ten Hag’s team got back to winning ways this weekend, defeating Southampton 3-0 on the road. That excellent result moved them to ninth in the league table and should ensure they are in good spirits heading into this fixture.
United have won two and lost two games this season, but the strength of their squad, and the fact the manager has traditionally picked strong teams for this competition, makes them the hot favourites to progress into the Fourth round here.
Barnsley boss Darrell Clarke has led his team to seventh in the League One table after six games. However, they were well-beaten at the weekend, losing 3-0 away to Stevenage.
In the Carabao Cup, the Tykes drew 1-1 away to Wigan in the First round, before winning on penalties. They then upset Championship Sheffield United, winning their Second round match 1-0 at Oakwell.
However, this game against Manchester United is a massive step up in class for the Yorkshire team.

2 Goals Ahead Early Payout Offer
One of the worst feelings when placing a football bet is when the team that you have backed has gone into a multiple-goal lead only to be clawed back to a draw or to lose the game in question. This is something that bet365 has rectified for their bettors courtesy of this offer. If the team that you backed takes a two-goal lead your bet will be paid out as a winner. That is any two-goal lead so 2-0, 3-1, 4-2 etc will all be paid out early as a winner if your team is in that position. This is available in 80 different competitions including the major leagues across Europe and can be played on the full-time result market. Singles and multiples are both valid for this offer but you cannot bet on enhanced price markets. As with most promotions, if you cash out a bet in full, the bet will no longer be available for the offer in question. It also cannot be used if you bet on the draw on a game.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
