Barnsley hosts West Bromwich Albion in round 23 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Friday, December 17th at Oakwell (Barnsley)
The current game of Barnsley leaves many questions: this club is not on the last line just because Derby County was punished for twenty-one points due to financial problems, so the Rams are forced to be at the bottom. At the same time, it is Barnsley that has the worst production in the league — only 15 goals scored. Therefore, the Tykes are well-deserved outsiders.

On the other hand, West Bromwich Albion now has the opportunity to compete even for the leading position. The team conceded only one goal in the last four matches, winning two of them and tying two times. Due to this, the Throstles approached the leader at a distance of only five points. But the main factor of such a good performance of West Bromwich Albion is defense. The Throstles conceded only 17 goals, and it is the best indicator in the Championship.
In the last season, when both of these opponents represented the Championship, no one ever won. Those two matches ended in draws (2-2 and 1-1). At the moment, it is West Bromwich Albion that is twice as productive and has conceded twice as few goals. The Throstles are the only team from the TOP-3 that is gaining points recently, and it is because of this that the team claims to take the first position. After all, the first two teams have recently slowed down. Barnsley will again be an outsider, and the team will probably not even be able to score. Therefore, I recommend betting on the visitors to win with a -1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: West Bromwich to win with -1.0 handicap
