Prediction: 2-1
Bristol Rovers
Buoyed by a 3-0 win over Crawley Town, Barnsley will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Bristol Rovers on Matchday 5. The Tykes have a chance to climb to the playoffs berth and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Pirates. As Max Watters limped off with injury in a 3-0 win over Crawley Town at the weekend, Aiden Marsh is widely expected to return to the starting XI.
Bristol Rovers, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Cambridge United, but given their difficulties on the road, we are tempted to place our bets on the in-form hosts this time out. A man to watch in the away team will be Republic of Ireland forward Promise Omochere, who scored a brace in the last league match. There are no fresh injury worries in Matt Taylor’s team ahead of Saturday’s encounter.
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.
