As part of the second round of the group stage in the Football League Trophy, Huddersfield will take on Barnsley. Dailysports analysts have shared their prediction for this encounter.

Huddersfield

Huddersfield’s League One campaign has been a rollercoaster ride. After winning four of their first five games, the club then lost four straight matches. However, in their most recent game, Huddersfield broke their losing streak by defeating Barnsley at home.

Currently, Huddersfield sits ninth in the league, just one point behind the top six, although some teams above them have played one game less. In the Football League Trophy, Huddersfield began with a 1-2 away loss to Doncaster.

Barnsley

Barnsley occupies 11th place in League One after 10 rounds, trailing the top six by just one point. As mentioned earlier, Barnsley lost their most recent match away to Huddersfield, extending their winless streak to three games, during which they have earned just two points.

To stay in the race for promotion, Barnsley will need to find consistency. In the first match of the Football League Trophy, they suffered a heartbreaking 2-3 loss to Manchester United’s youth team after leading 2-0 until the 81st minute.

Probable Lineups

  • Huddersfield: Chapman, Lonwijk, Ruffels, Pearson, Yorpena, Headley, Vos, Ashiyah, Turton, Ward, Thomas.
  • Barnsley: Killip, Gent, Lopata, Wilkinson, McCarthy, Sorensen, Bland, Benson, Russell, Lofthouse, Yoganathan.

Match Facts

  • Huddersfield has won four games and lost two this season.
  • Barnsley has had mixed results on the road, with three wins, three losses, and one draw.
  • Betting odds: Huddersfield win (2), Draw (3.6), Barnsley win (3.35).

Head-to-Head

The two teams faced off just last week, with Huddersfield securing a 2-0 home victory, with both goals coming after the 80th minute.

Prediction

While Huddersfield is a slight favorite on paper, this game could go in any direction. Both teams' motivation for this tournament remains unclear, as they may prioritize league competition over the Football League Trophy. Given the uncertainty, I expect an open, high-scoring match. A bet on total goals over 2.5 seems like a good option for this fixture.
