Our prediction for this Championship match:
Barnsley
Match Time & Date:
04/12/2020
12:30 PM
Prediction: 1-1
Bournemouth
After suffering a shocking 3-2 loss to Preston in midweek, Bournemouth will be looking to return to winning ways in the Championship when they take on Barnsley at Oakwell on Friday evening. The Cherries aim to overtake out-of-form Norwich in top position in the standings, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach against Barnsley. Joshua King is still self-isolated following a positive test for coronavirus, but he is rated doubtful for Friday’s clash.
Carter-Vickers and Stacey are both sidelined with injury. The Tykes, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Birmingham City. Barnsley sit in the middle of the table, but they are surely capable of sharing the spoils with Bournemouth, who failed to impress in the midweek defeat to the Lilywhites. Both Benjamin and Jordan Williams are sidelined with injury for the hosts, while Elliot Simoes is a major doubt.

Highlighted Player (Patrick Schmidt):
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. After making 46 appearances for Admira Wacker II, the 179-cm tall striker started playing for the first-team in the 2016/2017 Austrian Bundesliga season.
Three years later Patrick Schmidt decided to take a step forward in his football career as he signed a four-year deal with Barnsley. The full-of-pace forward scored eight goals in the 2018/2019 season for Admira and he is widely expected to shine with the Tykes in the 2019/2020 Championship campaign. It has to be noted that Schmidt played for Austria U16, U17, U18 and U19 teams.
The Barnsley attacker currently represents Austria U21 team in international matches. His main position is centre-forward, but he is used as both left and right winger as well.
Highlighted Team (Bournemouth):
Bournemouth are a professional football club that was formed back in 1890. The Cherries secured promotion to the Premier League in the 2015/2016 season, with the team making it to the English top flight for the first time ever.
Bournemouth play their home games at Dean Court and the capacity of the stadium is 11,469.
The Cherries enjoyed a very successful season on their Premier League debut, with the team beating the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United in the national championship. Glenn Murray scored the winner for Bournemouth in the 1-0 win over the capital club at Stamford Bridge and that is probably the greatest victory in the club’s history.
Bournemouth have been participating in the FA Cup since 1913, but they have yet to win the trophy in the prestigious competition. It has to be noted that the club’s original name Boscombe Athletic Football Club was changed to Bournemouth back in 1923 as the club owners wanted the Cherries to be more representative of the district.
