THE PREDICTION

Barnsley have endured a thoroughly miserable Championship campaign so far and with relegation looking more and more likely by each passing fixture, they’ll be glad to take their minds off that and focus on the FA Cup. Two divisions below the Tykes, Barrow overcame Ipswich of League One via a replay to get to this stage and will not roll over for Barnsley. Alas, an early goal for the visitors may well set the foundations for a shock when considering the fragile confidence of this Barnsley team, not to mention the pent-up anger that would be expected from the home supporters. The likelihood is that Barrow will prioritise a solid set up, keeping things as tight as possible as they did in their 0-0 draw at Portman Road to force their replay with Ipswich, so backing under 2.5 goals over 90 minutes has to be favoured in this one.
