Top Barnsley vs Accrington Stanley prediction for League One’s match

On the 21st of January, we have Barnsley hosting Accrington Stanley and we expect one hell of a match at Oakwell Stadium which will definitely provide the betting man with a few good opportunities.

Barnsley – Over 1.5 goals

Barnsley managed to score two goals in two of the three games versus Accrington Stanley so far. Sure, the 1:1 draw back in December was a bit disappointing but coach Michael Duff’s boys certainly had their chances to slide it past the goalkeeper.

The game on Saturday will be played at Oakwell Stadium and Barnsley are known for having tremendous support from their fans. With an average attendance of 10,302 people, Barnsley’s stadium is an unwelcoming venue that strikes fear in the opposition’s rank and this will certainly help the players score plenty.

Barnsley to win

Experienced as he may be, John Coleman certainly doesn’t know how to defeat Barnsley. The 60-year-old has seen everything in football yet he still can’t find the solution to defeating Barnsley.

With two victories and one draw in the three head-to-heads in the past, it’s quite obvious that Barnsley are the top favorites to win this game. Furthermore, Accrington Stanley aren’t that convincing in the away games these days as their last visit was at Pride Park where they were trashed 4:0 by the Rams.

Both teams to score – No

We’d be surprised if Accrington Stanley finds the net on Saturday. After all, the team couldn’t score against Barnsley in two of the three games played so far as they both ended with 2:0 victories for Barnsley. The only time that coach John Coleman’s side managed to score was on the 26th of December, 2022, in the home game at

Barnsley vs Accrington Stanley: match preview & facts

Before you place a bet on this game, make sure to check out our match preview as it will further explain some of our Barnsley vs Accrington Stanley predictions.

Barnsley

Barnsley are currently in 6th place and with a solid lead over Accrington Stanley! With 12 victories, four draws, and eight losses, coach Michael Duff’s boys look eager to get the ball rolling on Saturday in an attempt to get closer to the promotion spots.

Michael Duff might be forced to make some changes to the starting line-up after witnessing three consecutive defeats for the team. Luke Thomas is the only player who misses out on action due to a fractured leg. In three consecutive games, Barnsley have been unable to get even a goal. James Norwood is the player on form for Barnsley with back-to-back goals before his lull in the last three matches.

Accrington Stanley

John Coleman’s boys are sinking and they need momentum, period. The players aren’t supplying their fans with plenty of good opportunities to cheer as they lost 11 league games so far, drew seven, and won only six.

John Coleman heads into the encounter with no wins in the matches against Barnsley. The 60-year-old, though, has seen his Accrington team come up strong performances in back-to-back matches. There have been no defeats in the last three games for Accrington, who have Joe Pritchard unavailable as the long-term injury absentee due to an Achilles tendon rupture.
