Barnsley and Blackpool face each other at Oakwell in a League One round 4 clash, with both sides looking to build on convincing victories last time out. Barnsley ended a four-game winless run by beating Leyton Orient 3-1, but their home form remains a concern, with only a 20% win rate across their last 10 home matches. The Tykes have also conceded 1.8 goals per game at home during that period. Cieran Slicker, Isaac Smith, and Vimal Yoganathan are unavailable, while Amani Richards could earn a starting spot after impressing against Leyton Orient.
Blackpool, meanwhile, are enjoying an excellent run of form, winning seven of their last 10 matches overall and four of their previous five away games. The Seasiders produced an emphatic 4-0 victory over Peterborough United and have conceded just 0.6 goals per game in their last five away matches. Hayden Coulson is doubtful after missing that win. Blackpool also have the historical edge, winning 13 of 26 previous meetings.
Considering that 60% of Barnsley’s recent home games and 50% of Blackpool’s last 10 matches produced three or more goals, we are tempted to bet on Over 2.5 goals and Both Teams to Score.
This League 1 match will be played on Wednesday 2 September 2026 at 19:45.
