Prediction: 1-0
Wigan
Barnsley play host to Wigan Athletic at their Oakwell on day 17 of the new League One campaign. The Tykes defeated Rotherham United 2-0 in their last home game, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of the visit of Wigan Athletic. Max Watters will be out of contention for two weeks after suffering an injury in a 1-1 draw with Cambridge United, with Kelechi Nwakali being ready to step up.
The Latics, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Wycombe. Wigan, though, are on a four-game winless run on the road, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the home team. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to South Yorkshire. In their last meeting at Oakwell the two sides played out a 1-1 draw.
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.
