Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Stockport County will be looking to extend their winning run to five games when they take on Barnsley on Matchday 31. The Haters look unstoppable at the moment and, as a result, the odds for home win have been dropping. With no fresh injury worries to report, Dave Challinor is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Leyton Orient at the weekend.
The Tykes, on the other hand, do not seem to be at their sharpest, collecting only one point in total from the last four league matches. Given Stockport’s fine form at the start of 2025, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the match. Barnsley forward Max Watters has been struggling with injury of late, while Marc Roberts is back from suspension. Anyhow, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side.
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.
