Command Analysis

Barnsley

Current form
Barnsley are playing in League One for the third season in a row, although they are used to playing one division higher. In the third most important league of the country, the hosts have already occupied fourth and sixth place, but the team has not been lucky in the playoffs. The current season began for the Terriers with an unexpected defeat to modest Mansfield (1:2). The team learned this lesson and has not lost since. They managed to win over Lincoln (2:1) and Crawley (3:0), and the match with Northampton (2:2) ended in a draw.

Bristol Rovers

Current form
Bristol Rovers are clearly not as ambitious as today's opponent. Two years ago, the team played in League Two, but managed to achieve promotion to a class where the guests already feel quite confident. Now the club occupies ninth place in the table and is only behind Barnsley on additional indicators. The Bristolians beat Northampton (1:0) and Cambridge (2:0), and also drew with Rotherham (0:0). The only defeat the guests suffered was from Stockport (0:2).

2.65Tip and bets
Although the teams are currently close in the standings, the hosts have set much more ambitious goals for the season, which means they simply need to take maximum points from teams like Bristol Rovers. We believe that the hosts will be properly tuned in to this match and will be able to take three points.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1) on Barnsley for 2.02
Bet on total
In the upcoming match, we recommend a prediction for total over. The hosts demonstrate too open football, and the lineup allows them to play attacking. It is unlikely that the guests will be able to contain such a powerful opponent.
The second bet is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.70
Bet on the first half
There is a high probability that we will see the hosts' advantage already in the first half. In the last match against Crawley, the team scored all three of their goals before the break. We think that Barnsley will not delay scoring goals now either.
Prediction: Barnsley win in the first half with odds of 2.10
