Barnsley vs Birmingham Prediction & Betting Tips - League One
by Ian John in League One Predictions
There’s a key match in League One this weekend as third-placed Birmingham City travel north to take on eighth-placed Barnsley. Can the Blues continue their good form and heap the pressure on the teams above them, or will our prediction back the home side Tykes to land a surprise win?
It would certainly be a surprise win for the fans from Oakwell to enjoy should Barnsley be victorious. Darrell Clarke’s team have not won any of their last four League One matches and also went out of the FA Cup last weekend, losing 4-3 on penalties to Bristol Rovers after a 0-0 draw.
Their last home game saw them draw 2-2 with Reading in midweek ahead of the FA Cup tie with Rovers, but they were in action in midweek, when they went down to a 1-0 defeat to Wrexham, conceding a 92nd minute goal to lose a tight encounter.
Following a surprise defeat to Shrewsbury a couple of weeks ago, Birmingham City have found their best form once again. Chris Davies has seen his team beat Exeter 2-0 on the road, then beat Blackpool 2-1 in the FA Cup Second Round at the weekend.
They then beat promotion rivals Stockport County 2-0 in midweek at St. Andrews to put them in good spirits ahead of this clash.

Our Barnsley vs Birmingham Prediction
Our prediction for the Barnsley vs. Birmingham City match in League One is: Birmingham City to win.
The visiting Blues have been one of the best teams in League One this season and while Barnsley are no slouches, the home side's recent form is poor. That plays into Birmingham's hands given that they are on a good run of winning games, scoring two goals in each of their last three. They have at least one game in hand on the teams above them and the data suggests three points for the visitors here.
