Prediction: 2-1
Barnsley
Blackburn Rovers and Barnsley, the two bottom-table sides, face each other at Ewood Park in what is expected to be a very entertaining game. The Riversiders are after their fourth home win of the season, and they should take advantage of the fact that Barnsley struggle at the back. A man to watch in the home team will be Lewis Holtby, who played for the likes of Tottenham and Schalke 04 in the past.
The Tykes experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-2 loss to Stoke City, with the team extending their winless run in the English second tier to 15 games. Barnsley are stuck at the bottom of the Championship standings ahead of the trip to Lancashire, meaning that the lack of confidence should prove to be the team’s biggest problem for the away team in the Ewood Park clash.

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.
