Barnsley - AFC Bournemouth betting tips and odds

Barnsley managing to pull off a victory here would be quite the upset. They are definitely underdogs, so even the home-field advantage isn’t able to push the odds lower than 4.75 for a home win.

Even with the home-field advantage as a factor, AFC Bournemouth have a better chance of winning this clash than their opponents. They can’t afford to relax just yet though – the hosts may prove a tough nut to crack after all.

The Tykes’s previous Championship match did not go their way, but not even the most stubborn fans would have predicted a different result against a team as strong as Nottingham Forest . They played as visitors, and the top online bookmakers priced an away win at 7.00. They never recovered from some early concessions, and the score was brought to a conclusive 3:0 result before the end.

Bournemouth’s confidence must have taken a big hit last round. A drawn-out first half against Hull City culminated in them losing a home game 0:1, despite being tagged as favourites before kick-off.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

The Cherries are expected to win this bout despite playing on The Tykes ’s home turf. This prediction makes a lot of sense when you consider their first bout this season. Playing as the hosts, The Cherries took a decisive lead and ended the match with a noteworthy goal difference.

Fortunately, none of the teams’ players has been injured or suspended recently. With their full lineups at their disposal, we’re in for an exciting match.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 2.07 if you use the 888Sport sportsbook.
