Forest’s away problems highlight Barnsley value

With Mario Balotelli’s name causing a stir around Barnsley, the team need to keep their focus for a big clash with Nottingham Forest on Saturday. Things have been improving lately for the Tykes, but can they keep that going?

Barnsley are up to 16th after their recent run, which has seen them lose once in their last seven. The Tykes have won three of their last four games and they have produced back-to-back wins to nil at home.

New boss Valerien Ismael has made an excellent start to life at Oakwell, while his team should be able to punish a Forest outfit who have lost three of five away trips this term. The visitors have failed to win nine of their last 10 Championship away games.

Barnsley have also managed to win four of the last five meetings between these two at Oakwell, including victories in July and September this year. The hosts have conceded in just two of their last nine home league games and they look good value Draw No Bet here.

We’re backing that alongside a 1-0 correct score prediction, with Barnsley winning three of the last five meetings between these two at Oakwell by that scoreline.
