Oakwell is the venue for Wednesday night's Carabao Cup First Round clash between Barnsley and Fleetwood Town. The home team, Tykes, and visiting Cod Army have both started their respective league campaigns very well, setting up an intriguing Yorkshire v Lancashire cup clash between the two. What will our match prediction be for this contest between two in-form teams?
Heading into this contest, which is both teams' first cup action of the season, there is a symmetry between both teams' form. With a 100% winning record, Barnsley lie second in League One after their two games, while Fleetwood also lie second in League Two, also with a 100% winning record. Something will therefore have to give when the teams meet on Wednesday night.
Barnsley are unbeaten in their last four games, including two friendlies. In the league, they opened up with a fine 3-1 away win over Plymouth Argyle on the opening day before earning a 3-2 home win over Burton Albion at the weekend, setting themselves up nicely for this fixture.
Similarly, Fleetwood Town started their season away to newly promoted Barnet and emerged 2-0 winners from that trip to Underhill. They then followed that with a 2-1 home win over Bristol Rovers at the weekend at Highbury.
