Prediction: 1-2
Reading
Barnsley will look to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Charlton Athletic and Stevenage when they face Reading in the League One round 44. The Tykes failed to win the previous four home fixtures in the Championship, but they are still with one foot in the playoffs. Devante Cole is widely expected to return to the starting XI after the 28-year-old came as a substitute in the midweek defeat.
The Royals, on the other hand, did well to beat Bristol Rovers 2-0 on the road, with the team moving away from the danger zone. Reading are not regarded as good travellers and given their poor away record (4-5-12), we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. Reading head coach Ruben Selles is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Pirates on Tuesday evening.
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.
