Saturday’s League One action kicks off at Oakwell, with Barnsley taking on Leicester City. These teams have conceded more than one goal per game this season, which sees us leaning toward both sides getting on the scoresheet in this match as our main prediction.
Barnsley have made a disappointing start to the 2026-27 season, as they are still in 18th place after six matches, having only managed to pick up seven points coming into MD7.
The Tykes enter this match off the back of disappointment, losing on penalties to Peterborough in the EFL Cup on Tuesday. They are now on a three-match losing streak across all competitions.
The hosts have won three and lost two of their five home games in all competitions this season, but they have only won one of their last four against their upcoming opponents at this venue.
Meanwhile, it may still be early in the season, but Leicester City have so far looked unlikely to challenge for immediate promotion, as they have only taken eight points from their first six matches.
The Foxes edged Stockport in a thrilling encounter 4-3 last weekend. They have now conceded seven goals in their last two matches following a 4-0 loss to Oxford United a week earlier.
The visitors are unbeaten in their three away league games this season (W1 D2). This is their first visit to Oakwell in any competition since March 2014.

Our Barnsley vs Leicester Prediction
Barnsley have made an underwhelming start to the season, winning just one of their six games to date, and they now enter this match off the back of bowing out of the EFL Cup against Peterborough in midweek.
Leicester’s downfall has continued this term, as they are sat in mid-table with two wins from six games. The Foxes have conceded seven goals in their last two matches, and we feel they will struggle to shut the home side out in this one as well. Our Barnsley vs Leicester City prediction is BTTS.
