Barnsley

LLLDDL 📉

After being defeated in their last game at the hands of Exeter City in League One action, Barnsley and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

The only player to score from Barnsley was Stephen Humphrys (58'). Ryan Trevitt (13') and Josh Magennis (81') scored for Exeter City.

The stats don’t lie, and Barnsley have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 11 goals in total. Defensively, Barnsley seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. That sort of trend won’t necessarily be carried forward into this game, of course.

✨ Prediction

Our feeling is that Birmingham City will most probably see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.

In contrast, Barnsley won’t find it easy to break down their defence although we do reckon that they could well end up managing to get on the scoresheet.

Accordingly, we see a controlled 3-1 winning margin for Birmingham City at the conclusion of the game.
