Prediction: 1-0
Stockport County
Barnsley will look to build on a 2-1 victory over Burton Albion as they host Stockport County at Oakwell on Saturday evening. The Tykes have shown improvement in recent weeks, but you should bear in mind that both Luca Connell and Fabio Jalo are set to miss out through injuries. Despite these absences, Barnsley will be confident of continuing their good form on home soil.
Stockport County, on the other hand, head into the match following a disappointing 4-1 defeat to Leyton Orient. The Hatters struggled defensively in that match, and they will need to tighten up at the back to avoid a similar result this weekend. Although there are no fresh injury concerns for the visitors, their ups and downs on the road could make this a difficult contest. With Barnsley looking to maintain their momentum and Stockport’s defensive struggles, the home side are favorites to secure another three points. Taking everything into account, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Saturday's showdown.
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.
