Brentford - Barnsley betting tips and odds

Brentford are firm favourites in this matchup, and backing them may offer surprising betting value. It’s a very safe bet, though we suppose an upset is not outside the realm of possibility. We wouldn’t count on Barnsley winning, though.

If betting odds are anything to go on – and they are - Barnsley will likely get overrun by their opponents with little hope of winning. Considering how one-sided this matchup is, they may want to cut their losses and focus their energy elsewhere.

The first half of The Bees’s previous away match against Reading was a stalemate, but they pulled far ahead as the game progressed, ending in a decisive 1:3 victory.

Considering they were visitors playing against a much stronger team, the 0:0 result isn’t too bad for Barnsley. They were tied with Nottingham Forest throughout the match.

With 5 goals over the previous 3 matches, Brentford attackers are nothing to be scoffed at. If the trend continues, we’ll see some rather impressive records from then by the end of the season.

Barnsley tend to record few goals in their away games. They’re currently on a bit of a trend, in fact – the last 2 away games featured 1 or fewer goals.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this Championship season, the hosts already recorded a victory over Barnsley. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

There’s an interesting development over at Griffin Park. It seems both teams have been struck hard by injuries. On one hand, Brentford_INJURIES will not be playing for the hosts. Conversely, The Tykes_INJURIES will all be unavailable on the away side. Both teams will have to deal with limited options.

If you’re feeling confident, a Draw/Home wager in the Half Time/Full Time market is the way to go. It’s a fairly risky move, but likely the best way to get some value out of the match this Sunday.
