Prediction: 0-1
Barnsley
Buoyed by a hard-fought win at Hull City, Barnsley will be looking to extend their winning run in the Championship to four games when they take on Reading at Madejski Stadium. The Tykes have been showing signs of improvement of late, but despite winning the previous three league fixtures, they are still sitting in the relegation zone. Barnsley are high on spirits ahead of Saturday’s football match, and we are positive that they will rely on their rock-solid defence against Reading.
The Tykes are eyeing their fourth consecutive clean sheet in the Championship. The Royals, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to the likes of Leeds United and Wigan Athletic, but seeing that the visitors want this win more than the hosts, we are tempted to put our money on the relegation strugglers. In the first half of the season the two teams shared the spoils at Oakwell.

Highlighted Player (Andy Yiadom):
Andy Yiadom was born in Holloway, London, but he began his career in the youth team of Watford. After spending two years at the Watford football academy, the pacey full-back (winger) joined Hayes & Yeading United and he scored only one goal in 36 appearances in the league for the club.
At the end of the 2010/2011 campaign Yiadom moved to Braintree Town and after scoring seven goals in 27 appearances for the Iron he signed a contract with Barnet. The 180-cm-tall footballer played for Barnet from 2012 to 2016 and he scored 14 goals in 169 appearances for the Bees. Andy Yiadom then decided to take a step forward in his career as he moved to Championship side Barnsley.
The English footballer played 32 games in the league for the Tykes last season and he provided three assists for his teammates, while receiving four yellow cards. His main position is full-back (right-back), but he is capable of playing on the left flank as well.
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.
