Barnsley will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Plymouth Argyle when they face Leicester City in League One round seven. The Tykes are eyeing their second home win of the season, although their defensive record remains a concern, with 2.17 goals conceded per game across their last six home matches. Barnsley have also seen BTTS land in 83% of those fixtures. First-choice goalkeeper Cieran Slicker remains in the treatment room, meaning Rogan Ravenhill should keep his place in the starting XI.
Leicester City, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 4-3 victory over Stockport County and are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach. The Foxes have scored 1.80 goals per game in their last five away matches, while BTTS has landed in 80% of those fixtures. Emil Riis will be the man to watch after scoring a brace against Stockport. Forward Conor Chaplin is injured, but he was not missed in the weekend victory.
As Barnsley home matches average 3.50 goals and Leicester’s recent away fixtures average 3.80, we believe that there is big value in betting on Both Teams to Score, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Over 1.5 goals (80% of the previous 10 H2H meetings produced at least two goals).
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 19 September 2026 at 12:30.
