First Prediction for Barnsley vs Stevenage – Barnsley to win – 11/10
Despite Barnsley’s disappointing result last weekend at the hands of struggling Bristol Rovers, Darrell Clarke’s side is still a side that are sat in the playoff spots at the halfway point of the season. Before last weekend, Barnsley were on a four-match unbeaten streak, winning all of those games, including victories over Bolton Wanderers and Wrexham. This run came after a 4-0 defeat at the hands of Leyton Orient, proving that the Tykes can bounce back from shock results. As for Stevenage, in the league, they are winless in three. Sitting in 16th, Revell’s side have had a mediocre season, and are 10 points off the relegation spots and the playoff spots. It’s no secret that three points would mean more for the side chasing promotion, with teams on their tail in the playoff race. Barnsley need, and should, be picking up crucial points against opponents like Stevenage.
Second Prediction for Barnsley vs Stevenage – Under 2.5 goals to be scored -13/20
Although their league position would not suggest so, Stevenage have the joint third-best defensive record in League One this season. They have only conceded 22 goals in 24 games, which is the best record in the bottom half of the table. However, they also have the worst goalscoring record in the division, managing just 19 goals in 24 games. On average, their scoring and conceding records are both below one goal per match, with 0.79 goals scored and 0.92 goals conceded per game. Barnsley, on the other hand, have the complete opposite record. Clarke’s side have the joint third-best goalscoring record, but the worst defensive record in the top six. However, with Stevenage’s record in front of both goals, it would come as no shock if this game was low-scoring.
Third Prediction for Barnsley vs Stevenage – Davis Keillor-Dunn to score at any time – 9/4
Davis Keillor-Dunn has lived up to the price tag Barnsley paid for him in the summer transfer window. Since moving to Oakwell from Mansfield Town, Keillor-Dunn has 12 goal contributions in 27 games in all competitions this season. The 27-year-old striker has four goals and one assist in his last five games in the third tier, and will no doubt be looking to add to his tally on Saturday.

Full Preview of the Game – Last Results and Head-To-Head
As mentioned above, the hosts come into this one on better form than Boro despite losing last weekend. However, Stevenage’s midweek win against Leyton Orient in the EFL Trophy will give them a boost.
The Tykes still occupy a play-off spot, which could be further cemented if they win all three points at Oakwell. On the other hand, Stevenage sit 15th, 10 points off the relegation spots and 10 points off the play-off places. Depending on other results around the grounds, they could potentially jump two places in the league, to widen the gap between themselves and the bottom four.
Since 2023, these sides have met three times, all coming in League One. Boro have won two of these three ties, with the hosts winning once.
