Forest Green
Barnsley play host to Forest Green at their Oakwell in the League One round 17. The Tykes do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last four league fixtures, but they are still seen as slim favourites to beat the Green Army on home soil. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of Saturday’s clash.
Forest Green, on the other hand, are on four-game winless run in the League One as well, and given their shaky defence that have conceded 33 goals so far this term, Barnsley will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. It has to be noted that the two teams meet for the first time ever in the English third tier. Both Udoka Godwin-Malife and Matt Stevens are sidelined with injuries for the away team.
