Until just a year ago, Barnsley players were playing in the Championship, and now they are welcoming Sheffield Wednesday in the big derby of League One and South Yorkshire. Both teams are in fantastic form and I expect a spectacle at Oakwell. Barnsley turned their stadium into a small fortress and they have been playing fantastically in front of the home crowd all season and now they have won five games, scoring over 2 goals in all five games. Barnsley is in the 4th position and will wait for the end of the season in a place that leads to the playoffs and although they cannot reach the positions that lead directly to the Championship, the players will be very motivated to beat Sheffield Wednesday again, this time at their stadium. As for absences, Byers is doubtful. James and Windass should be ok after picking up knocks. And what about the visitors, who are having a great season and are first in the table, thanks in part to Barnsley's 3-0 win over Plymouth? Wednesday have been beaten just three times all season and hold the best away record in the division, winning 10 times and claiming 4 draws. They are also in good form having won five of their last six in the league - but they were well held by Bolton last time out. Despite not being a possession-dominant team, Wednesday has managed to maintain a successful away record, with an average possession rate of less than 50% on the road. As both teams head into this match, it's possible that neither will want to take control of the ball and risk leaving themselves vulnerable to counter-attacks. Given the added intensity of a derby game, it's likely that this match will be closely contested. Although the Owls have an impressive away record, they've only scored 20 goals while conceding just nine. They've relied on a series of 1-0 wins to propel them up the Championship table, but have struggled against stronger opponents, often conceding goals. I expect a tight clash and I see a good value in +0.5 on Barnsley as this match will probably end in a draw. Sheffield is great away from home but now they will have a very difficult job against a team that has already managed to beat them this season.

就在一年前，巴恩斯利队的球员还在参加英冠联赛，而现在他们在英甲联赛和南约克郡队的大德比中迎战谢菲尔德星期三队。两支球队的状态都非常好，我期待在奥克韦尔上演一场奇观。巴恩斯利将他们的球场变成了一座小堡垒，整个赛季他们在主场观众面前表现出色，现在他们赢了五场比赛，在所有五场比赛中都打进了 2 个进球。巴恩斯利排在第4位，将在通往季后赛的位置等待赛季结束，虽然他们无法到达直接通往冠军的位置，但球员们将非常有动力再次击败谢周三，这在他们的体育场的时间。至于缺席，拜尔斯持怀疑态度。 James 和 Windass 受伤后应该没事。那么客队呢，他们有一个伟大的赛季并且在积分榜上排名第一，这在一定程度上要归功于巴恩斯利 3-0 战胜普利茅斯？星期三被殴打整个赛季仅仅3次出战，保​​持着联赛最佳客场战绩，10胜4平。他们的状态也很好，在联赛的最后六场比赛中赢了五场——但他们上一次被博尔顿控制住了。尽管不是一支以控球为主的球队，但周三在客场保持着成功的战绩，客场平均控球率低于 50%。随着两支球队进入这场比赛，双方都可能不想控制球并冒着让自己容易受到反击的风险。考虑到德比战的激烈程度，这场比赛很可能会势均力敌。尽管猫头鹰队的客场战绩令人印象深刻，但他们只进了 20 个球，只丢了 9 个球。他们依靠一系列 1-0 的胜利将他们提升到冠军积分榜上，但在与更强大的对手的比赛中表现不佳，经常失球。我预计会有一场激烈的冲突，我认为巴恩斯利的 +0.5 很有价值，因为比赛很可能以平局告终。谢菲尔德在客场表现出色，但现在他们将面对一支本赛季已经成功击败他们的球队。
