Barnsley take on the visitors Blackpool in the postponed round 27 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Tuesday, April 26th at Oakwell (Barnsley).
The last three rounds turn into an empty formality for Barnsley - following the results of the championship, the hosts are relegated to the League One. Two of these fights will take place at home. But does it provide any advantage? In all past matches, the "mongrels" could not beat their closest competitors, in ten rounds they took only one victory and looked exhausted. They are not able to leave the last place and there is simply no motivation. Judging by the statements of head coach Asbagi, the club is fighting to the last but it doesn’t look like they do.

Blackpool have a very good for a team that only last season played in the League One. In the last round, Blackpool took points from the team leading the battle for the playoff zone Luton Town, before which they scored six times in a duel with Birmingham. “Tangerines” just continue to play football, occupy the sixteenth line, and on the road they suffered defeats even less often than in their own field. There is a balance between attack and defense. In the reverse fixture, Barnsley were beaten by a minimum score of 1-0.
The hosts deservedly return to the League One after three seasons in the Championship. This match in not about the results of the Mandarins, it's about Barsnley's inability to gain three points even when it was needed. Now it's not needed at all. Asbagi's squad is so bad that any rival can become an insurmountable obstacle for her. Here, rather, the question is whether the “mongrels” will be able to excel at all. The visitors do not battle for anything, but this does not prevent them from having a strong streak in the ending of the season.
Prediction for the match: Blackpool to win with 0.0 handicap.
