Barnsley vs Bristol City – Match Preview

Barnsley vs Bristol City
Friday 1s
t November 2019
The Championship, Oakwell Stadium

Live on Sky Sports Football HD – Kick Off: 19:45 GMT

Barnsley will host Bristol City this Friday night in Championship action.

These two sides have had contrasting campaigns to date – with the visitors in a much stronger position. Barnsley are currently rock bottom of the Championship table with eight points from 14 matches. Meanwhile, Bristol City are in the play-off hunting pack and currently sit sixth with 24 points.

Barnsley, who are in dire need of a victory, are priced at 15/8 to win the match by SkyBet. Since parting ways with manager Daniel Stendel, the club have shown some signs of improvements and grasped impressive score draws with Swansea City and West Brom. However, they look in real trouble of relegation this season.

Despite all the dismay and disappointment this season, Cauley Woodrow has still managed to shine in the Barnsley attack. Woodrow has five goals so far this season and will be the most likely to cause Bristol a headache with his dribbling skills and ability to find pockets of space between defenders. He is priced at 9/5 to score anytime.

Bristol City are priced at 13/10 to win on Friday night. Lee Johnson’s side have been an impressive, organised outfit so far this season. Whilst they are not setting the league alight, they are proving they have a real shot at the play-offs. However, their last match on the road did not go to plan as they lost 3-0 at Luton Town.

Going forward, Andreas Weimann has been his usual, industrial self. The striker has five goals and two assists this season. He is priced at 9/2 to open the scoring.

The referee for this match will be Jarred Gillett. The official has averaged 40 booking points in his six second tier matches so far. With the hosts feeling the pressure of the relegation battle, I would expect a fierce showing against an abrasive team.

Barnsley vs Bristol City will be televised on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 19:45.

Queens Park Rangers vs Brentford – Match Preview

The Championship, The Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium

Live on Sky Sports Football – Kick Off: 19:45 GMT

Queens Park Rangers will host Brentford in Monday night Championship action.

QPR are high flying so far this season and currently sit fifth in the league standings. They are unbeaten in three matches and they are often involved in high scoring affairs. Their previous outing against Reading ended in a 2-2 draw.

Meanwhile, Brentford are comfortably mid-table and managed to get a big scalp during the week. They defeated out of form Swansea City 3-0 away from home in a very impressive performance.

QPR are priced at 7/4 to win the match on SkyBet. The hosts have been a very entertaining side to watch so far this season. Much of this is thanks to their attacking options, focusing mainly on winger Eberechi Eze. The trickster has already managed to get six goals and 3 assists so far this season. He is priced at 3/1 to score anytime – as a penalty and free-kick taker, these odds are very tempting.

As aforementioned, QPR have been involved in a lot of crazy matches. They are price boosted at 9/2 to win and for both teams to score.

Brentford are priced at 7/5 to win this match, with the bookmakers struggling to pick a favourite. The visitors are making amends after a poor start to their season. In their previous two outings, they have scored three goals. Ollie Watkins has been in inspired form and has eight goals so far this campaign. He is priced at 10/3 to open the scoring and is sure to be the main threat to QPR’s defence.

The referee for this match will be Andy Woolmer. The official has averaged 38.6 booking points from his seven Championship matches. QPR have averaged over 10 booking points more than their opponents this season. SkyBet are offering 11/8 for the hosts to have the most booking points.

Queens Park Rangers vs Brentford will be televised on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 19:45.

Prediction: Queens Park Rangers 1 – 1 Brentford

– Both sides are in decent form and have similar threats to each other. Could cancel themselves out.

Suggested Tips – Queens Park Rangers vs Brentford – (BET 365)

  • Correct score – Draw 1-1 – (link no longer available).
  • Anytime Goalscorer – Eberchi Eze – (link no longer available).

Suggested Tips – Queens Park Rangers vs Brentford – (SKYBET)

  • Correct Score Group Betting – Draw 1-1, 2-2, or 3-3  3/1.

Liverpool and Tottenham go head to head in Premier League action on Sunday afternoon.

The hosts are top of the league after a near perfect start from last matches. Jurgen Klopp’s side drew last time out with Manchester United but had won eight from eight previously. Spurs are going through a very sticky patch but made some improvements in their midweek Champions league match. They beat Crvena Zvezda 5-0.

Liverpool are priced at 8/15 to win by SkyBet. Liverpool are looking almost unbeatable at the moment, so those odds look good. At Anfield, it’s been goals galore from the five matches so far with an average of 4.6 goals per match. Winger Mohamed Salah returned in midweek from an injury and will be likely to start again this weekend. He has four goals and three assists so far. SkyBet are offering 23/20 for him to score anytime.

Tottenham are priced at 9/2 to get a surprise win against the league leaders. Spurs did right some wrongs in midweek with their emphatic 5-0 victory. Harry Kane has been on top form despite Spurs poor run of results. The striker has chipped in with five league goals so far this season. He is priced at 17/10 to score anytime.

SkyBet are offering a price boost for both the aforementioned Harry Kane and Mohamed Salah to both score anytime.

The referee for this match will be Anthony Taylor. The official has not been shy with his cards so far this season and has averaged 40.6 booking points from his 8 top-flight matches. With a lot on the line, it could be a feisty encounter. SkyBet are offering 7/4 for 50+ booking points.

The match will be televised on Sky Sports Premier League HD and kicks off at 16:30 GMT.
