Exeter City vs Barnsley Predictions

• Barnsley are unbeaten in their last 12 League One matches (W10, D2)
• Barnsley have the third-best away record in League One this season
• Exeter’s record this season against sides who currently occupy a spot in League One’s top six (W1, D2, L3)

Tykes have top two in sight

Barnsley are unbeaten in their last 12 League One matches (W10, D2), a run of form which has seen Michael Duff’s side go fourth in the table, just six points off second-placed, Sheffield Wednesday.

Michael Duff will be hoping his side can extend their unbeaten run to the end of the season, which might be enough for the Tykes to nick an automatic promotion spot at the expense of Plymouth or Sheffield Wednesday.

Barnsley have the third-best away record in League One this season, and the visitors, who will be full of confidence after beating their South Yorkshire rivals last time out, should take all the beating on Tuesday.

Grecians tend to struggle against top six

Exeter have put together a run of one defeat in the last five, which will see them finish the season comfortably in mid table. The Grecians haven’t the best record against the top six this season, Gary Caldwell’s side only have one victory to their name against sides who currently occupy a spot in League One’s top six. Coincidently that victory came against Tuesday’s opponents, Barnsley, the visitors are a much improved side these days and are expected to have too much for their hosts.

Barnsley to win in the outright market will be the main selection for Tuesday’s game at St. James Park, with a 2-1 away victory forming the correct score prediction.
