League One, played Tuesday, January 28th, 2025
Here is our Wycombe v Barnsley tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to not score in this game, under 2.5 goals, and a Barnsley away win. Our confidence in this pick was moderate relative to other picks.
Wycombe Wanderers were held to a rather frustrating 0-0 draw by lowly Northampton Town at Adams Park on the weekend in League One but the hosts have another chance to return to winning ways on home soil when they play host to Barnsley, with perhaps a chance of returning to the top of the table.
Barnsley suffered a second defeat on the trot on Saturday when The Tykes were dealt a 1-0 loss at home to Stevenage which followed on from a previous heavy 3-1 defeat away from home at Bristol Rovers, but the Yorkshire club still remain in the play-off pack in the division.
Wycombe Wanderers still occupy second place in the League One standings despite dropping two points on the weekend but the hosts know they can ill afford a repeat of their previous result here on Tuesday night if they are to hang onto one of the automatic promotion spots.
Recent results in the English third tier have been a bit of a mixed bag where Wycombe Wanderers have been concerned as The Chairboys have picked up two wins, two draws but have also slipped to two defeats as well.
To make matters worse, Wycombe Wanderers have registered just the single win within their previous six home games along with being involved in four draws along with one defeat as well.
Barnsley will be eager to return to winning ways after being handed recent back-to-back defeats by the likes of Bristol Rovers and Stevenage, but prior to these recent losses, The Tykes had posted four wins on the trot.
Victories against Bolton Wanderers, Peterborough United, Wrexham and Crawley Town will still give Darrell Clarke's side plenty of confidence ahead of this upcoming trip to Adams Park on Tuesday night especially as Barnsley have picked up three wins from their last four outings on the road.
Indeed, Barnsley have been dealt just the two defeats in their last eight away games in the English third tier along with picking up a total of five wins within this period which includes earlier victories against Blackpool and Shrewsbury Town, so the Yorkshire visitors may well fancy their chances of causing a bit of an upset on Tuesday night.
The bigger picture shows Barnsley have lost just four of their previous 14 outings on the road in League One along with collecting a total of nine wins, while the visitors have also scored in 11 of these 14 away games as well.
Wycombe Wanderers v Barnsley Verdict
Barnsley have suffered just one defeat in their last eight games against Wycombe Wanderers whilst also picking up six wins along the way, so the visitors look to have a decent chance of picking up all three points here.
Therefore, our main bet will be Barnsley win @ 3.50
Other side bets worth considering:
Correct Score: Barnsley 1-0 @ 11.00
