Prediction: 2-0
Northampton
Barnsley will try to recover from the EFL Trophy defeat to Man Utd U21 when they welcome Northampton Tow to their Oakwell on Saturday. The Tykes defeated Lincoln on the road in their last League One game and they are seen as favourites to win the round 3 clash as well. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Sam Cosgrove, who opened his goal-scoring account in the LNER Stadium clash. Michael Skubala has no fresh injury worries.
The Cobblers, on the other hand, did well to beat Exeter 2-1 in their last league match, but they will have a mountain to climb at Oakwell. As Barnsley are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Northamptonshire empty-handed. Barring any fresh selection worries, Jon Brady is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Grecians at the weekend.
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.
