Reason for Swansea vs Barnsley Predictions
Two points separated Swansea and Barnsley at the end of the regular season in the Championship. The two were drawn to face off in the playoff semi-finals, and with Barnsley hosting the first leg, it was Swansea who took the advantage with a 1-0 win. Now Swansea plays host in the return leg, hoping to avoid a repeat of last season when they beat Brentford 1-0 but lost 3-1 in the return leg. Andre Ayew, just like in the previous season’s semi-final first leg, scored the only goal, and Swansea will be relying heavily on him as they seek a Premier League return. The first leg between these two sides had lee action in attack, and not much is expected in the second, with Swansea likely to sit back. These two sides were the lowest scorers among the teams that made the playoffs. Swansea conceded 11 lesser goals compared to Barnsley in the regular season, but they head here with one clean sheet in six matches. Jay Fulton has excellent control of the ball, and he can play in several positions. Jamal Lowe enjoys the pitch, and when he receives the ball and heads towards the goal, the opponent has problems. He does great in the penalty area.
Barnsley is considered the weakest among teams that secured playoff places. They didn’t disappoint in the first leg, as their loss was expected. The investment in Valerien Ismael’s squad isn’t as big as in the other four teams playing at this stage, and for a team that fought relegation last season, they’ve already overachieved. Barnsley failed to win any of their final two matches of the regular season and now is on three winless games. Their goal-scoring resources don’t match what Swansea has, and it explains why they had the least goal difference in the top six. They’ve scored more than a goal in just one of the last six matches but have a good away run, and knowing Swansea have struggled at home lately, they will want to give a fight for their Premier League chance. Romal Palmer is a tremendous defensive midfielder who knows what he is doing at all times, he is strong, and it isn’t easy to take the ball away from this guy. Conor Chaplin enjoys the pitch, and when he receives the ball and moves towards the goal, the opponent has problems.
Conclusion
Swansea is the favorite, and they have an advantage of one goal from the first match. They should secure a place in the playoff finals.
This will be a big fight between these two rivals, and we should expect a goal from both teams. We hope that football fans will enjoy this match.
