Barnsley – Fleetwood preview: latest form, news, and potential lineups

Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Barnsley vs Fleetwood lineups.

Barnsley

Barnsley offered another very good display on Tuesday night when easily beat Shrewsbury 3-0. The Tykes dominated this game from start to finish and decided it early to preserve energy. Cole scored again and he is now in double figures for the season (10 goals). 

Barnsley have dropped only 2 points in their last 4 matches and they continue to create chances and score goals with great ease. The Tykes have scored a league-high 29 goals.

Barnsley need to continue being aggressive as their selection problems in defence are not going away right now. The main goalie Roberts remains sidelined. Also, defenders Lopata, Cundy and McCarthy continue to battle injuries. All 3 are listed as doubtful right now. 

Predicted Lineup: 

Killip (GK), Williams, De Gevigney, McCart, Cotter, O’Keeffe, Cadden, Styles, Kane, McAtee & Cole

Fleetwood

Fleetwood were fortunate to end their two-game losing run with an away win on Tuesday. The Cod Army beat their direct rivals in the battle for survival Reading 2-1. Captain Vela scored the winner in stoppage time with Reading missing numerous chances to win this match at 1-1. 

Fleetwood’s form had been shaky all season and yet somehow they’ve found a way to perform on the road. So far 8 of the 11 points have been collected on the road. 

There is hope that things will improve at the defensive end. After missing 10 games star centre-back Sarpong-Wiredu is back now. Also, Nsiala returns after a ban for this trip. This means that Fleetwood are practically at full strength, only fringe player Holgate remains injured. 

Predicted Lineup: 

Lynch (GK), Lawal, Sarpong-Wiredu, Nsiala, Rooney, Quitirna, Vela, Mayor, Earl, Omochere & Marriott 

​Starting Lineups

The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.

​Player to Watch: Devante Cole

Barnsley’s centre forward Devante Cole is having a stellar season. The aggressive forward already netted 10 goals in just 14 league appearances. He has scored 7 of those 10 goals in home matches and this is where Cole tends to play his best football. That’s why we think he is the player worth keeping a close eye on on Saturday afternoon.
