Prediction: 1-0
Barnsley
All eyes will be on Toughsheet Community Stadium when Bolton and Barnsley take on each other in the League One playoffs semis, return leg. The Trotters won the first leg 3-1, meaning that they are with one foot in the final. Barring any fresh injury worries, Ian Evatt is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Tykes on Friday.
The visitors, on the other hand, face an uphill task in the reverse fixture. Barnsley need a big win over Bolton in the second leg, but seeing that they head into Tuesday’s clash with the lack of confidence, home win should be considered. As for the visiting side, Sam Cosgrove is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the first leg. Barnsley head coach Martin Devaney is likely to stick to the 3-5-2 formation.
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.
