Barnsley vs Leeds United Prediction

Leeds have had a very successful season, and they are still in a no-loss spree for 7 matches in a row, with only 1 drawn match. Barnsley on the other hand, have been a bit shaky when it comes to their performance, but not weak in any case.

Leeds seem like the likelier winners on this match if you tale all things into considerations. Still, Barnsley have the home field advantage, and have a better H2H stat compared to Leeds.

On this match, we expect to see Leeds win yet not by a large goal margin. From their previous matches, it is evident that they will try to score and then defend their lead.

Correct score: 0-1
