Barnsley to boost their play-off hopes against Wycombe
4468

On Wednesday night, Wycombe Wanderers host Barnsley at Adams Park in a big game for both teams campaign in the Championship this season.

Wycombe have endured a difficult first campaign in the second tier of the English game. Gareth Ainsworth’s team are currently bottom of the Championship table, nine points from safety. The Choirboys go into this clash having won just one of their last five league outings.

However, that win may be a significant one, as it came last time out in a 1-0 home victory over Preston. The win ended a four-game losing streak in the Championship.

The win may come too late for the home side to mount a late rescue challenge, but it is at least a step in the right direction for Wanderers.

Wycombe’s home form has not helped their chances of survival, as they have won just four league games on home soil this season. However, two of those wins have been in their last three Championship outings at Adams Park.

Barnsley are enjoying a stellar season and are currently in the play-offs places, five points ahead seven points ahead of seventh-place Bournemouth in the race for the league’s top-six.

Valerien Ismael’s team are unbeaten in 11 league games, having won eight of their last nine matches in the English second tier. A 3-2 win at rivals for a top-six spot Bournemouth last time out could prove crucial to the visitor's hopes of claiming one of those play-off spots this season.

The Tykes recent run of league form includes a five-game unbeaten run on their travels in the Championship. They have also won their last three away games on the road.

Forebet predicts that Barnsley will consolidate their place in the Championship play-off spots with a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
