Barnsley return to Oakwell aiming to recover from their 3-2 defeat at Bolton, a match that again highlighted their defensive issues. Given AFC Wimbledon's attacking potential, our prediction leans toward a 2-2 ddraw. Despite averaging 1.40 points per game at home, the Tykes have been struggling to keep a clean sheet of late, conceding 1.80 goals per home match with an xGA of 1.20. However, their attack is usually reliable, scoring 1.80 goals per home game, and the return of Phillips and Kelly to the starting XI should offer greater stability and creativity.
AFC Wimbledon, meanwhile, are brimming with confidence following a thrilling 3-2 win over Reading, where Marcus Browne stole the spotlight with a brilliant hat-trick. The Dons have been more effective away from home, collecting 1.75 PPG compared to just 1.00 PPG at home. Their defensive numbers on the road are solid as well, conceding only 1.00 goal per away match and producing 25% clean sheets, significantly better than Barnsley’s 0%.
Taking everything into account, we predict an open, high-energy contest with both teams carrying attacking momentum. As Barnsley games average 3.80 goals and both teams attack better than they defend, we are tempted to bet on Both Teams to Score, Over 2.5 goals and Over 1.5 goals First Half (small stake).
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 14 February 2026 at 15:00.
