Barnsley hosts Derby County in round 28 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Wednesday, March 10th at Oakwell (Barnsley)
Barnsley may unexpectedly get into the Premier League. However, the Tykes are more accustomed to another fight. More than once they found themselves literally by a hair's breadth from relegation to League 1. And the last draw brought the borderline 21st place. Charlton had only 1 point less, Wigan - 2, and Hull City, which closed the standings, was 4 points behind - a ridiculous difference, taking into account 46 rounds. The new draw also brought enough problems, but everything changed after the appointment of Valerian Ismael. The Frenchman has a rather unequivocal reputation as a coach, but he is doing well in England. Leaving the cup after a 1-0 defeat to Chelsea, Barnsley started a winning streak that has already reached seven consecutive matches. Thanks to it, the Tykes managed to climb into the top 6, and this is already the playoff zone.

Derby County was among the outsiders, and it was then that it was decided to entrust the team to Wayne Rooney. Starting as an interim manager, the legendary footballer was able to improve the game of his partners. As a result, he decided to focus on working as a coach. For a long time, his team managed to achieve good results, and there was even a streak of five victories in six rounds. But things have clearly gone wrong since the end of February. In the last five games, the Rams managed to win only one victory over Huddersfield and earned four points. Both the last matches ended in defeats. First, Cardiff hammered the Rams in Wales, scoring four unanswered goals. And last Saturday, Biamou's only goal brought Coventry a win. So far, the gap from the outsiders is six points, but it is better not to aggravate the situation.
Derby County was clearly more successful in past seasons (three wins and a draw). But in November, the Tykes were able to gain a 2-0 away victory. Derby County has slowed down, and, most importantly, it will play against an extremely motivated club. We bet that Barnsley will be able to continue its winning streak.
Prediction for the match: Barnsley to win
