Portsmouth
Barnsley play host to Portsmouth at their Oakwell in a postponed League One game. The Tykes are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win and their fourth clean sheet in a row as well, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Devante Cole, who scored a brace in a 2-0 win over Burton at the weekend, while boss Neill Collins has no fresh injury worries ahead of the visit of Portsmouth.
The Pompey, on the other hand, head into the midweek clash following a 1-1 draw with Derby County. Portsmouth, though, are not regarded as good travellers and given Barnsley’s excellent winning run, home triumph should be considered. To make things even more difficult for the visiting team, experienced midfielder Conor Hourihane limped off with injury in the last league match.
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.
