Our prediction is: Both teams don't score
It's hard to overlook the part that defence will play in this match. The capable defending of both sides will be tough for opposing offences, which is why it could be a low-scoring affair.
That overwhelming defence is also a great reason to go 'no' on the Both teams to score market.
Our prediction is: Barnsley win or draw
The home team is usually a safe bet in the Double Chance market, and that is no different in the upcoming match. Our top tip is to bet a Barnsley win or draw against Stevenage.
Our analysis of Barnsley points to them being the superior side, which is why they have a strong chance to win the match outright. And with the added benefit of needing only a draw at home against Stevenage, their chances of cashing in the 1X Double Chance bet grow even stronger.
