On 9th March in League 1, the third most powerful division in England, Barnsley will play against Lincoln on the "Oakwell" pitch.

Barnsley

Last year, the "Tykes" came very close to returning to the Championship. At the end of the season, they took 4th place and made it to the play-offs. There they outstripped Bolton, but in the final encounter against Sheffield Wednesday, they conceded in extra time and lost by the minimum score.

In the 31st round, the team drew with Shrewsbury Town (1:1). In the next round, they managed to secure an away victory over Fleetwood with a score of (2:1). After that, the guys won against Derby County (2:1). Then, they defeated Wycombe Wanderers away with a score of (4:2). In the last game, Barnsley drew with Bolton (2:2).

Lincoln

The "Imps" are gradually shuttling between divisions. Last year, the team showed average results, which resulted in an 11th place finish. Currently, they are in 10th position in the league table.

In the 32nd match of the season, the team once again finished their game in a draw with Charlton (1:1). After that, they bagged a victory over Exeter City (1:0). Then, the lads beat Port Vale with a scoreline of (2:0). In the next round, the "Imps" won against Shrewsbury (3:0). And in the last match, they drew with Stevenage (0:0).

Head-to-Head

The last time the teams met was on 25th November 2023. That meeting ended in a draw (2:2).

Prediction

In this clash, it's pretty tough to pick any side. Both teams have been putting up a strong fight lately, but I would lean towards a home win. Barnsley performs very well on their home turf. Moreover, they are one of the favourites for promotion this season. Lincoln, although currently sitting mid-table, tends to only defeat the underdogs on the road.

Total Prediction

It's unlikely that the teams will be able to produce a high-scoring game. Therefore, I suggest considering a TU of below 2.5.
