1st Prediction For Wrexham AFC vs Barnsley FC: Wrexham to win 29/25
Wrexham’s rapid rise up the English football pyramid has continued this season as Phil Parkinson’s side sit in second place in League One. The Hollywood-owned side have had a dream start to life back in the third tier, winning 10 of their 17 league games and they have been in particularly good form of late, getting 10 points from their last five matches. The Welsh giants have been formidable at the STōK Cae Ras, winning eight of their nine games at home and drawing the other game to leave them as the only side in League One who are unbeaten at home. Although Barnsley are a very good side themselves and currently sit in sixth place, the stats suggest that they will struggle to take even a point back to South Yorkshire on Tuesday night.

2nd Prediction For Wrexham AFC vs Barnsley FC: Davis Keillor-Dunn to score 53/20
Davis Keillor-Dunn is a player who has been amongst the goals for over four seasons despite being played in a number of different positions. Last season was undoubtedly the best of his career as he scored 22 times in 46 games to fire Mansfield to promotion from League Two. This season, the 27-year-old has stepped up a level, but is still managing to find the back of the net with a reasonable consistency. He has six goals in 20 games for Mansfield and Barnsley this season and he will be returning to the STōK Cae Ras with a point to prove after a short and largely unsuccessful stint with Wrexham in the 2019/20 season. The Tykes also have the third best away record in League One and one of the highest xG created values in the third tier, which could make backing Keillor-Dunn very fruitful.

3rd Prediction For Wrexham AFC vs Barnsley FC: Barnsley to score: No 209/100
Another good option for fans who are more pessimistic about Barnsley’s chances is to predict the Yorkshiremen to not score. Wrexham not only have the best defence this season, having conceded just 11 goals in 17 league games, but they have also kept 10 clean sheets in League One. Young defender Max Cleworth, who came through the Wrexham academy before the takeover, has been a pivotal part of the defensive success this season alongside the more experienced Eoghan O’Connell and Thomas O’Connor. Additionally, Barnsley have slightly struggled in front of goal recently having scored just five times in their last five games and they failed to score in their last game against Bristol Rovers.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head
Wrexham are currently in second place in League One but have dropped four points behind Wycombe Wanderers in recent weeks owing to the latter teams’ fantastic form. Barnsley are in sixth place but seven points off their opponents on Tuesday night. They have been looking below them rather than above them in recent weeks as Darrell Clarke’s side have gone three games without a win. Wrexham will be looking to replicate their recent good home form and get a win on Tuesday to stop Wycombe breaking clear at the top of the league.
