Wrexham v Barnsley

Wrexham vs Barnsley Preview

Wrexham will be looking to make it four home wins on the trot in the English third tier on Tuesday night when the second placed Welsh hosts take on sixth placed visitors, Barnsley, when the two teams meet at the SToK Cae Ras.

Meanwhile, Barnsley will be eager to halt a three-match winless run in League One when The Tykes travel to Wales looking for a positive result in order to maintain their current position in the play-off pack in the division.

Wrexham had previously posted back-to-back wins on home soil against Exeter City 3-0 and Lincoln City 1-0 respectively and although The Dragons had been dealt a disappointing 1-0 loss on the road at Stockport County, a previous and solid 1-0 home win against Mansfield Town means the hosts have won their last three home games on the bounce.

Phil Parkinson's side have lost just three games to date within a total of 17 league matches played overall, each of which have been dealt out to the Welsh side away from home while their unbeaten form at home has remained intact.

Indeed, Wrexham have won eight and drawn one of their nine home games so far this season and this is a daunting record for Barnsley to overcome here on Tuesday night.

Barnsley have dropped down to sixth place in the League One standings after being held to two draws and slipping to one defeat within their last three league matches, and this upcoming trip to the SToK Cae Ras on Tuesday night looks like being a tough assignment for Darrell Clarke's side.

Points picked up in draws with Cambridge United and Reading would have been scant consolation for the Yorkshire club while a 1-0 defeat at home to Wigan Athletic has increased the pressure upon The Tykes to get a result of some sort in Wales on Tuesday night.

The bigger picture shows Barnsley have managed to pick up just three wins from their last 10 league matches overall which have come in the shape of important victories gained over Blackpool, Shrewsbury Town and Rotherham United.

On a more positive note, only the League One leaders Wycombe Wanderers (six) have achieved more wins on the road so far this season than Barnsley and having won five of their eight away trips to date this term, the Yorkshire visitors will still fancy their chances of becoming the first team this season to win at the SToK Cae Ras.

Wrexham v Barnsley Verdict

Wrexham have won the last two meetings at home on the trot against Barnsley and the Welsh hosts look the better equipped to register another win at their visitor's expense here on Tuesday night especially as Wrexham have kept six clean sheets in their nine home games.
