Match Time & Date:

16:00
Prediction: 2-0
Port Vale
Oakwell will be the centre of attention as Barnsley kick off the 2023/2024 League One campaign with a home match against Port Vale. The Tykes aim to build on a pre-season win over Crewe and electrifying atmosphere at the stadium can surely help them pick up all three points from the opener. New signing Andy Dallas is likely to make his official Barnsley debut against Port Vale as well as Kacper Lopata, who joined the club from Woking alongside Kyran Lofthouse.
The Valiants, meanwhile, suffered a 1-0 loss to Doncaster in their last warm-up game and seeing that they suffered a 3-1 loss to Barnsley in their last encounter in the League One, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. A man to watch in the visiting team will be Ellis Harrison, who scored 11 goals in the English third tier last season.
Highlighted Player (David Amoo):
David Amoo is a professional football player who was born in Southwark, London, England on April 13, 1991. Amoo spent his youth career at the likes of Millwall and Liverpool, but nowadays he plays for League Two side Port Vale.
It has to be noted that the pacey winger played for the likes of Milton Keynes Dons (loan), Hull City (loan), Bury (loan), Preston, Tranmere Rovers, Carlisle United, Patrick Thistle, and Cambridge United as well before joining the Valiants in the summer of 2019. David Amoo made his League Two debut with Port Vale on August 3, 2019, in a 1-1 draw with Colchester United.
He scored his first goal for the Valiants in a 1-1 draw with Northampton Town seven days later. His primary position is a right winger, but he is often used as both left winger and second striker. David Amoo has dual citizenship (England/Nigeria).
Highlighted Team (Port Vale):
Nicknamed the Valiants, Port Vale are a professional club that compete in the League Two. Port Vale welcome their rivals at Vale Park, and they wear white and black kit when playing in front of home fans. Yellow, on the other hand, is the dominant colour of their away kit.
The Valiants’ home ground, which was built in 1950, can hold up to 49,768 people. Championship side Stoke City are seen as one of the club’s fiercest rivals, but their rivalry is pretty healthy. The two teams first met on December 2, 1882, with the Potters emerging triumphant (1-0).
The Valiants maintain a rivalry with fellow League 2 club Crewe Alexandra as well. Speaking of the club’s titles, it has to be noted that Port Vale have won Football League Trophy on two occasions (1993, 2001). A 9-1 win over Chesterfield from September 24, 1932 is the club’s biggest triumph.
