We have an FA Cup Second Round prediction for you on Saturday for the match between Barnsley and Bristol Rovers! The Tykes face the Pirates for the second time this season, having already played in the league with Barnsley winning that match 2-1. Will history repeat itself once again, this time in the FA Cup?
Darrell Clarke’s Barnsley have not been the most consistent team in League One, despite occupying sixth spot in the table at present. Too many draws at home, most by a 2-2 scoreline, has been their issue and their form away from home is markedly better.
The Tykes came through the first round of the FA Cup winning 3-1 away to Port Vale, a tricky tie which they won comfortably against a team going well in League Two. Their most recent games saw them lose 1-0 at home to Wigan last weekend, then draw 2-2 with Reading, also at home, in midweek.
Bristol Rovers reached this round thanks to a dramatic 3-1 home win over Weston Super Mare in which they required extra time to see off their non-league opponents. In the league, Matt Taylor’s Pirates occupy 14th in the League One table.
They had mixed results leading into this game, winning 1-0 away to promotion chasing Mansfield last weekend, but they followed that up with a disappointing 2-0 home defeat to Blackpool on Tuesday night.
