Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Birmingham City
Oakwell will host Saturday’s football game between Barnsley and Birmingham City. The Tykes head into the match following a 2-2 draw with QPR, with the team eyeing their second win of the season. All Andersen, Morris, Leya, and Oulare have been struggling with injuries of late, but Marcus Schopp can count on key players for Saturday’s clash. The Blues, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 5-0 win over Luton Town.
Birmingham City quickly bounced back from a 2-0 loss to Bournemouth, but they do not want to stop now. A man to watch in the away team will be experienced attacker Scott Hogan, who scored a brace at the weekend. Since Barnsley looked sharp in front of goal in the 2-2 draw with QPR, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score.

Patrick Schmidt is an Austria international who plays for Championship club Barnsley as a forward. Born in Eisenstadt, Austria on July 22, 1998 Schmidt began his senior career at Admira Wacker.
