Prediction: 2-1
Crawley
High-flying Barnsley will be aiming to extend their winning run to four games when they take on Crawley Town in the League One round 25. The Tykes look unstoppable at the moment and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Defender Barry Cotter is a major doubt after limping off with injury against Wrexham, with Georgie Gent likely to step up.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team obviously struggling at the back. As Crawley have conceded 12 goals in total in the previous four league matches, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Barnsley. In their last meeting in the English third tier, Barnsley defeated Crawley 3-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to South Yorkshire.
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.
