Barnsley – Reading, Prediction – Championship

👍 Barnsley finally lost, but by a rather unexpected opponent

Barnsley started the season very poorly, but after a difficult start, the good results began at the end of October. The strongest period of the team was between mid-February so far, because Barnsley won 9 out of 10 games and ended with a draw in one, which brought them to the top 6, but in the last round they most unexpectedly failed against Sheffield Wednesday at home and lost 1-2. Unexpectedly, because the owls are in the relegation zone in the penultimate place with only 4 wins as a guest this season, but Barnsley simply didn’t have a day back then.

⚽ Reading may come out of the top 6 soon if he continues with unconvincing performances

Reading is a very unpredictable team. Unlike Barnsley, for Reading, there were no periods of very strong or weak form, and in every game, everything can be expected from this team. The Royals are in 6th place with 3 points ahead of Bournemouth, but a game more. They have been playing poorly lately and have won only 2 points from their last 3 matches. Reading has great players in attack and knows how to create goal chances because of the individual class of these players, so we can see an open match with goals considering that Barnsley are favorites.

We expect Barnsley to recover quickly and show his qualities

 Експертно мнение: We will bet on Barnsley, although in a league like the Championship you can never trust logic. It is no coincidence that this is one of the most unpredictable championships in the world. However, Barnsley are really in their strongest form and despite the loss to Wednesday, we expect them to recover quickly. The dogs are without a victory over the Royals in 7 consecutive matches and it seems that there is no better moment than now to break this series. We like the bet to win either half because it gives us a lot of options to win, even if the team we bet on loses by a margin, so our prediction here is that Barnsley will win either half at 1.66.
