Prediction: 2-0
Fleetwood
Buoyed by a 3-0 win over Shrewsbury, Barnsley will be aiming to climb to the automatic promotion berth when they take on Fleetwood Town on Saturday afternoon. The Tykes have been in a fine form of late, with the team winning three of their last four league matches, while sharing the spoils with Leyton Orient and they must be brimming with confidence following a 3-0 crushing of Shrewsbury. The opposition back-line should have Devante Cole at bay as the 28-year-old was named man of the match in the midweek triumph.
The Cod Army, on the other hand, did well to beat Reading 2-1 in their last league match to move closer to the safe zone. Fleetwood, though, were beaten by Barnsley in each of their last two meetings at Oakwell, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the promotion-chasing hosts. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team.
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.
