Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Tuesday’s football game at Oakwell pits together Barnsley and Wycombe, the two promotion-chasing teams. The Tykes are eager to stay in the playoffs berth and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in the midweek clash. As Barry Cotter limped off with injury in a 1-1 draw with Stockport County, Donovan Pines is likely to sneak into the starting XI.
The Chairboys, on the other hand, have found their best form of late, with the team extending their winning run to three games at Bristol Rovers. Wycombe and Barnsley seem to be evenly matched at the moment and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team, both Lubala and Onyedinma could sneak into the starting XI. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in two of their last three meetings in the English third tier.
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.
