Prediction: 1-2
Barnsley
Bristol City and Barnsley take on each other in a highly-anticipated game at Ashton Gate Stadium on Matchday 31. The Robins are on a five-game losing run in the Championship, with the team obviously struggling at the back. Bristol City failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Watford (0-6) and Reading (0-2), and it is no wonder the odds for away win have been dropping.
The Tykes, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from the FA Cup defeat to Chelsea, with the team beating both Brentford and Blackburn Rovers in the previous two league fixtures. Barnsley aim to keep their Championship playoffs alive, and they should take advantage of Bristol City’s current form. Carlot Morris, who scored as a substitute in the 2-1 win over Blackburn Rovers in the midweek clash, is pushing for a start for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Nathan Baker):
Nathan Baker is a product of Aston Villa football academy. The left-footed defender played 115 games for Aston Villa in the league and it has to be noted that he scored only goal for the club during his spell at Villa Park. Nathan Baker is used as both centre-back and left-back and the 189-cm-tall footballer is very good in the air.
Nathan Baker was born in Worcester, England on April 23, 1991 and he currently plays for Bristol City in the Championship. After ending his loan spell with the Robins, he signed a permanent deal with the club on July 28, 2017 for an undisclosed fee. Nathan Baker has yet to make his debut for England national team, but he has three caps for England U21 team.
Nathan Baker made his debut for the under-21 squad against Iceland back in 2011. The English footballer has a contract with Bristol City which expires on June 30, 2021.
Highlighted Team (Barnsley):
Barnsley are an English club nicknamed the Tykes. The club was founded in 1887 and it has to be noted that they spend more seasons in the Championship than any other club in the history. The Tykes played in the Sheffield and District League from 1890, but in 1895 they were part of the Midland League. Barnsley play their home games at Oakwell, the stadium that was built in 1887.
The capacity of the stadium is 23,009 and it was opened back in 1888, just one year after the club’s foundation. The Tykes made it to the FA Cup final in 1910, but Newcastle United proved to be a big catch for the Oakwell outfit in the title game.
Nonetheless, Barnsley won the FA cup trophy in 1912 and that is considered the club’s biggest success. Barnsley defeated West Bromwich Albion in the two-legged tie (0-0, 1-0) to clinch the prestigious trophy for the first and only time in their history.
