Horsham take on the visitors Barnsley in the replay of 1/128-finals of English FA Cup. First match result: 3-3. The match will be played on Tuesday, November 14th.
Horsham are currently at its peak. The Wasps finished seventh in the Premier League last season, but it's worth noting that this proud name belongs to a semi-amateur division in the Isthmian regional league. However, a couple of years earlier, they were playing at even lower levels, and the 2022/2023 season remains the highest point in their history. Perhaps their current results would have been better, but the club had many matches postponed - no one expected that the underdog would manage to defeat four opponents. However, they don't intend to stop, and they put up a good fight against the wanderers on their own turf, earning an opportunity to host the replay - extra income won't hurt.

Barnsley actually won the FA Cup, but that was back in 1912. Their recent peak was their time in the Championship, but they couldn't stay there and were relegated to League 1 again. Last season, they secured only fourth place and suffered a defeat in the playoff final against Sheffield Wednesday. Now the club is aiming for automatic promotion, but things aren't going exactly as planned. In the fall, Barnsley had fewer losses, but a significant number of draws. They ended up with a 3-3 draw against the modest Horsham, despite leading 1-0 and 3-2 (although they had to come back during the course of that exciting match).
It's unlikely that anyone in Barnsley had even heard of such an opponent before the draw. The two clubs are meeting for the first time. The Tykes shouldn't embarrass themselves by losing to such a weak opponent. So we believe that the visitors will win with a handicap of -1.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Barnsley to win with -1.5 handicap.
