Barnsley hosts Bournemouth in round 29 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Saturday, January 29th at Oakwell (Barnsley)
Barnsley is the main outsider of the second division of English football. The team is in last place with only two victories in 25 games. The Tykes score very little and concede a lot. The winless streak has been going on since the beginning of October last year. The men of Poya Asbaghi suffered three consecutive defeats in the last three rounds. Barnsley players lost to Blackburn and Birmingham with a score of 1-2, and in the last match they were hammered by Nottingham Forest (3-0).

Bournemouth is one of the contenders for promotion. The team is in third place in the Championship standings, having won almost half of all matches. The key player is former Chelsea and Liverpool forward Dominic Solanke. Now he has 18 goals and two assists, and this is the third indicator in the top scorer’s race. The Cherries finished the previous year with two victories, but the start of 2022 was very bad. Scott Parker's men lost to Luton Town (3-2), conceding the decisive goal in the last minute of added time, and then they suffered a home defeat from Hull City (0-1). As a result, the intrigue in the fight for second place, which gives a direct ticket to the Premier League, only increases.
We will see the match between one of the main outsiders of the tournament and one of the leaders. Barnsley has already conceded 41 goals, while Bournemouth managed to score 43 goals against its opponents. In the first head-to-head match of this season, the Cherries had a great advantage and deservedly won with a score of 3-0, not allowing the Tykes to deliver a single shot on goal. We think that the favorite will manage to earn three points.
Prediction for the match: Bournemouth to win
