Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Barnsley
As expected, Swansea City suffered a 3-1 loss to Brentford at Griffin Park on Boxing Day. The Swans, though, are still only two points behind the play-offs berth, meaning that they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Sunday’s football game against Barnsley. The Welsh outfit did well to beat Middlesbrough 3-1 in their last home fixture, and they are seen as favourites to pick up all three points from the Griffin Park clash.
Andre Ayew, who scored his ninth goal of the season in the 3-1 defeat to Brentford, will be the man to watch in the home team. The Tykes, on the other hand, did well to get back on course. Barnsley are undefeated in the last four league fixtures, which is the main reason why we predict they are going to grab something from the Liberty Stadium clash.

Highlighted Player (Bersant Celina):
After starting his youth career at Stromsgodset, Bersant Celina moved to Manchester City youth academy in 2012. Two years later the midfielder, who was born in FR Yugoslavia on September 9, 1996, signed a three-year professional contract with the Citizens, but he made no more than one appearance for the big-spending club in the Premier League.
Bersant Celina came as a substitute for David Silva in a 3-1 home loss to Leicester City at Etihad Stadium on February 6, 2016. Celina played for the likes of Twente and Ipswich Town before joining Swansea City for a fee of £3 million.
Speaking of his international career, the 181-cm tall midfielder played for Norway U15, U16, U17 and U21 teams, but he represents Kosovo senior team on the international stage. Bersant Celina made his debut for Kosovo in September 2014 against Oman. His main position is attacking midfield, but he is used as a winger 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.
