Football Results

In one of the most interesting matches of the 39th round of the English championship, which will be played on Friday night, we have the team of Barnsley, which is currently only one place above the relegation zone and the seventh Bristol City, which is only one point away from the positions for placement in a higher ranking. We should also add that their last two duels at Barnsley ended with a draw, while the host celebrated twice in a row in Bristol.

Barnsley

But since the team of Barnsley was not defeated in the last three championship duels with Bristol City, they believe that they could now have a positive result. However, they also played in the previous two rounds in front of their home supporters and only scored one point in a 1-1 win over Norwich, after which they lost with 2-0 over Millwall, which Birmingham used in the best way and again equalized by the number of points with Barnsley.

In addition, the two last-placed teams, Burton and Sunderland, currently only have three or five points less than Barnsley, so it is quite clear that coach Morris's players will in the remaining eight rounds have a fierce struggle for survival. That is why they now have to play somewhat riskier against Bristol City, especially since goalkeeper Davies, midfielder Williams, and striker Knazmuller should be back in the team, while center-backs Mills and Pinnock are still out of action.

Probable lineups Barnsley: Davies – Yiadom, Jackson, Lindsay, Fryers – Potts, Williams, Gardner – Knasmullner, Moore, McBurnie

Bristol City

As for the guests from Bristol, they got to a very important home win of 1-0 over Ipswich, and thus again returned in the fight for the positions that lead in the playoffs because they only scored one point less than the fifth Derby and sixth Middlesbrough. Otherwise, it was the second victory at home for coach Jonhson's players, while they played much worse on the side, and in the last five matches outside of their stadium, they managed to win only two points.

Of course this is one of the main reasons why this team’s placement in the playoffs is seriously jeopardized, although there is still nothing lost due to the minimum backlogs for the fifth and sixth place. However, this fall of form has somehow coincided with their brilliant performances in the League Cup, where they have even reached the semi-finals, but they are still stopped by the current Premier League leader Manchester City. We should also add that only two center-backs will miss this duel, Flint for suspension, and Baker for injury.

Probable lineups Bristol City: Fielding – Pisano, Wright, Magnusson, Bryan – Brownhill, Smith, Pack, Paterson – Reid, Diedhiou

Verdict:

Given that Barnsley is struggling to survive, while on the other hand the guests from Bristol are one point away from the playoff positions, then it is somehow the most realistic to expect a completely open game in their mutual match, but also goals on both sides.
