1x2 — home
Wigan's recent form is strong (WWLWL), they are higher in the table, and have home advantage. Barnsley away are solid but less prolific.
Match Analysis
Expect a high-scoring, open contest between two attacking sides with defensive frailties. Wigan U21 are in excellent recent form with 3.6 goals scored per game in their last five, but they also concede an average of 2. Barnsley U21 have won three straight, also scoring well, but their defence is similarly leaky. Both teams rarely keep clean sheets and have a strong BTTS and over 2.5 profile. Wigan's home attack should edge a competitive match, but Barnsley’s away resilience means a draw or away win is possible if they take their chances.
