Barnsley v Sheff Wed Prediction and Betting Preview

Barnsley v Sheff Wed prediction: It’s a South Yorkshire derby on Saturday lunchtime which doubles up as a relegation battle to avoid falling through the Championship trap door, we have free bet tips for the match.

David Flitcroft rallied his troops to an inspirational end to the season, the togetherness shone through, but he has found this season a much greater challenge thus far. A much needed victory over indifferent Middlesbrough last week displayed fight and underlined the goalscoring prowess of Chris O’Grady but back to back victories would leave the Oakwell faithful resting a little easier at night.

Wednesday meanwhile are yet to acquire 3 points this season and Dave Jones is under pressure to deliver some results. 1-1 has been a common scoreline for the away side this season and turning draws into wins is essential for an elongated stay in the division and we need to consider this for our Championship betting tip.

Both Barnsley and Sheffield Wednesday  are yet to keep a clean sheet this season and in all but one game this season both teams have netted during Sheffield Wednesday games. It seems only plausible that both teams will score in this encounter and I’d take 4/6 with Ladbrokes for this to happen once again.

As previously mentioned, if you had backed the away side to draw 1-1 every game this season, you’d probably be noticing a profit, they drew 1-1 with Bolton last weekend and the same result occurred against Ipswich and Brighton before that, It would be unlikely to happen for a fourth game in a row but I do think that between 2-3 goals at 21/20 with Bet365 is worth a shot. 8 of the Owls games have finished between these totals this season and with the extra factor of it being a derby thrown in, I could see this happening.

Barnsley burst into life into the first half last weekend and scored 3 goals before Middlesbrough finally got their act together and pulled a couple of goals back. I believe they may be able to build upon this victory and make it 2 from 2. 6/4 with Paddy Power for a Barnsley win is worth a shot, if they do emerge victorious, it is likely to be by a single goal.
