Our prediction for this FA Cup match:
Barnsley
Match Time & Date:

14:30
Prediction: 1-0
Tranmere
Barnsley and Tranmere Rovers face each other at Oakwell in the FA Cup last 64. The Tykes aim to kick off their FA Cup campaign in style, but the Super Whites should not be written off just yet. Barnsley generally produce much better showings at home than on the travels, and you should bear in mind that in their last home game in the FA Cup they crushed Notts County 4-0.
Tranmere, on the other hand, set up a meeting with Barnsley by beating Accrington Stanley and Brackley Town on home soil. The League Two side, though, often struggle on the travels, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Barnsley’s party at Oakwell. In their last meeting in a competitive match Barnsley defeated Tranmere 1-0, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself.
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 (Tranmere):
Based in Birkenhead, Merseyside, Tranmere Rovers are a professional club that compete in the League One. Tranmere were founded back in 1884 under the name of Belmont FC, with the football arms of cricket clubs Lyndhurst Wanderers and Belmont coming together. The club recorded their first win later in 1884 as they outclassed Brunswick Rovers 4-0.
Nowadays Tranmere Rovers play their home games at Prenton Park, the venue which can hold up to 15,567 people. The Rovers wear white shirts and blue shorts in home matches, but back in the 19th century orange and red were the dominating colours on their kit.
Tranmere fans see Bolton Wanderers as the club’s main rivals, but they have built a small rivalry with Chester City and Everton as well. The Prenton Park outfit did well to make it to the League Cup final in the 1993/1994 season, but Aston Villa proved to be a big catch for them in the title game.
