Prediction: 0-1
Swansea
Barnsley and Swansea City, the two teams who met in the Championship playoffs last season, face each other at Oakwell on day 19 of the new campaign. The Tykes are hungry for revenge, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Swans. The good news for the hosts is that right-back Callum Brittain returns from suspension. Fit-again winger Carlton Morris, though, could be rested this time out.
The Swans, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Blackpool. Considering that Barnsley have been struggling at the back of late, we do not believe that the Welsh outfit will have a better chance than this to get back on course. Important centre-back Ryan Bennett is back from suspension for the visiting side, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on the Swans.
