Brentford vs Barnsley Prediction & Betting tips
After a turbulent season, the last game day is on the program in the championship. Before the game Brentford vs. Barnsley’s betting odds show that the roles are clearly divided.
The bookmakers rate the hosts as favorites – and rightly so. Before the duel between these two teams, one can definitely speak of a duel of opposites.
Brentford is at the top of the table, Barnsley at the bottom. This information alone is sufficient to determine the distribution of roles. But the shape also speaks a clear language: the host has the trump cards in hand.
Brentford:
There is still a lot going on for Brentford before the final day of the championship. Leeds United is champion and has climbed safely, but after that it is extremely exciting. West Brom is currently in the second direct promotion place, with 82 points on the account. Brentford has 81 points, but a much better goal difference. With 80 points, Fulham is also in fourth place.
If Brentford is only third, you have to go to the play-offs. And they should definitely be avoided. Beating Barnsley could at least do Brentford’s homework. Before the game Brentford vs. Barnsley’s odds indicate that the host is the clear favorite. A mandatory task is waiting.
After the re-start, Brentford celebrated seven wins in a row, conceding only one goal in two games. Until the match on Saturday. Ironically in the important game at Stoke City, which bob around in the middle of the table, the team of coach Thomas Frank lost 0: 1.
The shock has to be digested quickly. The team is strong, individually superior to the opponent and, especially on the offensive, able to pose major problems for every opponent. That’s why before the game Brentford vs. Barnsley our prediction that the host will win the game.
The strength mentioned on the offensive is also evident in the bare numbers & statistics. Brentford scored 79 goals this season, the absolute best in the championship. The offensive trio of Watkins, Benrahma and Mbeumo together scored an outstanding 57 goals, but that doesn’t help in the end if the direct ascent is missed.
The offensive against Stoke was hampered, and defensively Brentford seemed unusually vulnerable at times. The nerves may have played a role. The team had something to lose, but is now back in the chase role.
Barnsley:
Barnsley is in very different table regions than the host. A look at the championship table shows that a lot has to come together for Barnsley to keep the class.
The situation is as follows: Charlton Athletic and Luton are 48 points above the line, Wigan and Barnsley have 46 points. So Barnsley only helps a win in third place. Before the game Brentford vs. Barnsley show the odds, however, that this is not particularly realistic.
After all, the shape is solid. An important 1-0 win was won against Nottingham, generally Barnsley lost only one of the last four games. The problem is that you only played a draw against your direct rivals Luton and Wigan.
The fact that you have to win now – even against the best offensive in the league – does not make things easier. Barnsley knows that the risk in the game must be gradually increased. And Brentford will only be waiting for that.
In addition, the guests are very weak away, lost 14 times abroad. Only Wigan is worse than Barnsley abroad. Little speaks for Barnsley’s relegation, but as is well known, hope dies last.
The goal difference is also a factor in the relegation battle. After all, Barnsley (-21) has an advantage over Luton (-29). Charlton (-11) and Wigan (+1) are much better.
In such an important and decisive game, coach Gerhard Struber is available to all players, the Austrian can draw on the full.
