Barnsley
Match Time & Date:
13 September 2025
15:00
Prediction: 3-1
Reading
Buoyed by a 3-1 win over Huddersfield Town, Barnsley will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Reading in the League One round 8. The Tykes quickly bounced back from a 2-0 loss to AFC Wimbledon, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence, but they do not want to stop now. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Davis Keillor-Dunn, who scored a brace in the last league match.
The Royals, on the other hand, continue with their old habit of producing fine performances at home, while struggling on the travels. As Barnsley have turned their Oakwell into a real fortress, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. All Yiadom, Lane, and Okine-Peters are rated doubtful for the visiting team and the trio will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
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.
