Best Tip: Both teams to score

We have a pair of strong, attacking teams going head-to-head and, as such, we're predicting both of them to score at least 1 goal during the 90 minutes. Can respective bosses Conor Hourihane or Gary Caldwell deliver a defensive plan that will shut out the opposition? Latest form stats and historical head-to-heads, as well as the latest odds from the bookies, do not suggest so.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Barnsley are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 46% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 1.91.
