There are several teams in the English championship who have games in hand to play this week and two of them meet at Oakwell as Barnsley play Blackpool.
The game will take place on the 26th of April and Barnsley come into the match bottom of the league on 30 points while Blackpool are in 16th place on 57 points.
Barnsley have nothing left to play for this season other than pride having been relegated to League One. They lost 2-1 at Huddersfield Town on the weekend, a team chasing automatic promotion to the Premier League, so that came as little surprise.
Barnsley conceded early in both halves of the game and scored a consolation goal in the final minutes.
That result means Barnsley have failed to win any of their 6 most matches in all competitions and have recorded just a single victory in their last 10 Championship fixtures.
They have lost 4 of their last 6 games, with the defeats coming at Millwall, Huddersfield Town, and Sheffield United plus at home against Peterborough United.
However, recent home form shows Barnsley have not been easy to beat. They are undefeated in 6 of their last 7 Championship matches on home soil but have recorded just 1 win in their last 5.
Trends show there have been under 2.5 goals scored in each of Barnsley’s last 5 home Championship matches.
Blackpool make the trip to Oakwell having picked up a point in a 1-1 draw at Luton Town on the weekend. It was a decent result against a team currently in the playoff positions and Blackpool came back from conceding an early goal to equalise from the penalty spot in the 55th minute.
That result means Blackpool are undefeated in 3 of their last 4 games, all of which have been in the Championship.
There was a tremendous 6-1 home win over Birmingham City and a 1-1 draw at Blackburn Rovers. The only defeat in their last 4 came at West Bromwich Albion.
Away form in the Championship shows Blackpool have failed to win any of their last 4 games on the road. In fact, they have recorded just a single victory from their 13 most recent away league matches, which is a poor record.
Trends show Blackpool have seen under 2.5 goals scored in 4 of their last 5 away Championship fixtures.
Team news and Barnsley are without the injured duo of Michal Helik and Aapo Halme.
Blackpool have four players on the treatment table, with Daniel Grimshaw, Dujon Sterling, Sonny Carey, and Grant Ward all missing out.
The fight may be over in terms of relegation for Barnsley but their recent home record suggests they may get something from this game. Blackpool have been struggling for victories on the road and this one could end level, with under 2.5 goals scored.
