Friday evening, from 19:45 pm, Barnsley receives a visit to Bristol City in the 15th round of the English second league. The hosts have a high chance of winning, and Bristol is a favorite with success, with 2.50. But the game on Oakwell will not be easy for the visitors, as the odds show.
Bristol City is 6th in the Championship (22-19 goal) after 14 stages, while Barnsley managed a few mini-surprises, but is in the last place in the division: a single victory and a 12-27 goal. Obviously, Barnsley has been without a win for over a month, and the relegation fight is said to be very difficult.
Barnsley comes after failures with Huddersfield (1-2) and Preston (1-5), away, but also after draws with West Brom (2-2), Swansea (1-1) and Derby (2-2), in the face of opponents with claims to promotion. Instead, Bristol has a slightly more tie and defeated Charlton (2-1) and Reading (1-0), while also drawing Wigan (2-2) and Brentford (1-1). Let’s not forget that the home team has the weakest defense in the league, with 27 goals so far.
The statistics seem to lead us to a goalscoring bet, especially as four of the last six straight duels ended with the same generous score, 2-2! In the rest, we can say that each of the last 8 straight duels of the two had at least three goals scored, and Barnsley has not beaten Bristol since 2012: since then we have seen 3 wins for Bristol and 4 draws. In the visitors’ camp we will keep an eye on the Austrian Weinmann, who has scored 5 goals this season and is the team’s best scorer. Woodrow, from Barnsley, also has 5 goals.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1,54
