Brentford vs Barnsley Predictions

• No Championship side have more home wins since October 2018 than Brentford
• Brentford have won eight of their last nine in the Championship
• Ivan Toney has scored seven goals in four matches for the Bees

Bees to maintain winning streak

Since Thomas Frank’s first home league match in charge of Brentford in October 2018, the Bees have won 32 home Championship matches, four more than any other side. However, among the failures was last season’s final-day loss to Barnsley.

That defeat left Brentford facing another season in the second tier, but they’re making great strides in their promotion bid. The bees have won eight of their last nine Championship games going into this clash with Barnsley.

Barnsley are winless in five Championship games and they were beaten by Chelsea on Thursday. The Tykes have lost seven of 14 trips and they’ve lost all six visits to the current top eight.

The Bees have scored 17 times in their last four games and we see them claiming another win here, while we’re backing a 3-1 correct score as our second prediction.

Brentford striker Ivan Toney has been directly involved in 15 goals in 14 home games in the Championship this season, scoring 12. Toney has scored in each of his last four games, finding the net seven times in that run. He should keep that streak going against a poor Barnsley side.
