Barnsley and Blackpool will meet at Oakwell on a stacked midweek card in League One. The Seasiders are unbeaten this season, and our prediction is that they will take something from this encounter.
Barnsley have experienced a mixed start to the season, splitting their first three games, one win, one draw, and one loss, which sees them sat in ninth place coming into Matchday 4.
The Tykes defeated Crewe 3-2 in the EFL Cup last week before beating Leyton Orient 3-1 in the league at the weekend, a notable improvement after failing to score in their previous two games.
However, this week’s hosts have struggled at home of late, now winless in their last seven League One matches at Oakwell and having failed to score in two of their last four at this venue.
Meanwhile, after a disappointing 13th-placed finish last term, Blackpool have shot out the blocks this season, currently one of only five teams in the league still unbeaten after three games (W2 D1).
The Seasiders moved to the top of the standings with a 4-0 victory over Peterborough at the weekend. They currently have the joint-best defensive record in the league with just two goals conceded.
The visitors have won both their away games this season in all competitions and have also won three of their last four league visits to Oakwell since 2022.
