Stoke City vs Barnsley Predictions

• Stoke have won all three of their home league games this term, netting six goals in the process.
• The Potters have claimed 13 points from a possible 18 in total.
• Barnsley have won just one of their opening half dozen games (D3, L2).
• The Tykes have conceded six goals across their three away trips so far.

Another Stoke success forthcoming at bet365 Stadium

Stoke City have won all three of their home games this season and The Potters are backed to extend their 100% record at the bet365 Stadium against Barnsley in midweek.

Stoke’s fine start to the campaign was somewhat tainted by a comprehensive 3-0 defeat at Fulham before the international break, but Michael O’Neill’s men hit back at the first time of asking to beat Huddersfield 2-1 here at the weekend.

The result lifted the Potters up to third in the early Championship standings and O’Neill’s charges can at the very least keep pace with West Brom and Fulham on Wednesday by overcoming a Barnsley side who have begun the season slowly under new boss Markus Schopp.

The Tykes have so far looked a far cry from the outfit guided to last term’s Play-Offs by departing manager Valerian Ismael and they’ve managed to win just one of their opening six matches. The South Yorkshire side have picked up just two points from their three away trips and have been vulnerable at the back on their travels, shipping six goals in total.

Stoke have smashed in six goals at the bet365 Stadium en route to their three victories here and we can only see this fixture going one way on Wednesday night. The hosts are justifiably odds-on at around 3/4 and we’re happy to get them on-side, while we’re also forecasting a 2-0 score-line.
