Barnsley - Stoke City betting tips and odds

Though Barnsley definitely have a shot at winning this match, they’ll need to work for it. Stoke City are somewhat stronger, but the home-field advantage may be what the hosts need to shift the balance in their favour.

Stoke will need to bring their top form if they want 3 points from this matchup – and they do. Barnsley are not easy pickings, although the visitors are widely seen as close favourites.

Although Barnsley’s previous Championship outing at Derby County was a crushing away loss, it’s hard to judge their form based on that performance alone. After all, they were out-classed by Derby County , who secured an early lead and a comfortable 2:0 victory in the end.

The Potters mildly embarrassed themselves on their home turf in the previous round. They suffered a 0:1 defeat at the hands of Blackpool – a weaker team relatively speaking – and their confidence must have taken a hit.

The Potters are hoping to break a 3-game losing streak. There are some clear issues present when it comes to their form, though it’s not too late to turn things around.

The season’s match history shows us these two teams tied in an earlier round. The Potters may be the favourites, but they were unable to get the upper hand despite being the hosts last time.

With no injuries reported on either side of the pitch, both coaches have their full rosters at their disposal. As such, the odds remain firmly in the visitors’ favour.

Backing the visitors here is definitely on the safe side, but we still recommend going for a Draw No Bet. You can then rest assured that you’ll get plenty of value and not worry about losing to an unfortunate stalemate.
