  • Competition: England - League One
  • Date: Monday, 29th, May 2023
  • Kickoff: 15:00 UK / 16.00 CEST
  • Venue: Wembley Stadium (London)

On Monday at the iconic Wembley Stadium, we will find out which team, after Plymouth and Ipswich Town, will play next season in the strongest second division in the world. The final battle for the last passenger in the Championship will be led by Barnsley and Sheffield Wednesday.

The Tykes deservedly reached the League One play-off final and will be fighting for an express return to the Championship. They were better than Bolton in the semi-final double match with a total victory of 2-1. On the other side is Sheffield Wednesday, a team that made a historic comeback in the play-off stage of League One. Namely, The Owls eliminated Peterborough from the semi-finals, although they lost the first leg with as many as 0-4. At their "Hillsborough Stadium" they first managed to cancel the high advantage of their rivals in the regular 90 minutes with a 5-1 victory, and then they had more luck in the penalty roulette 5-4 (total 6-5).

Barnsley vs Sheffield Wednesday Betting Tips: BTTS

Although Sheffield Wednesday carries the epithet of favorites for promotion to the Championship, we should not forget that Barnsley outplayed them both times during the league part of the season. It was 2-0 for The Owls in Sheffield, while they celebrated at their "Oakwell" with 4-2. Therefore, we believe that the best option is goals and it on both sides!

By the way, if we've learned one thing from the recent meetings between Barnsley and Sheffield Wednesday, it's that the nets don't stand still. In the previous nine official battles, as many as eight times we could pay off the BTTS bet. Well, even when it's an important duel, we're of the opinion that sparks will fly everywhere.

The Tykes enter this play-off final with not the best form, as the 1-0 victory over Bolton was only their first in the last five challenges. But if the main culprit for the infamous results is requested, then it was the defensive line that capitulated an incredible 10 times - which means they concede two goals per match on average.

So, Barnsley's back four will be on a big test, since that they are facing an attacking powerful rival. What an attacking arsenal Sheffield Wednesday possess they proved last Thursday, when they packed four pieces to Peterborough in regular 90 minutes, not to mention that it was their fifth game in the last eight in which they scored 2+ goals.

Despite the offensive power, we note that The Owls lack defensive solidity, bearing in mind that they have only kept their net intact four times in their previous 14 games. Taking all the facts into account, we hope for a very interesting final with a handful of chances. In that case, we expect both teams to find the back of the net.

On the opposite side, Jamaican Darren Moore should also count again on those eleven players who made a historic comeback in the playoffs and eliminated Peterborough from the semi-finals.

Otherwise, Sheffield will be without the services of injured Mallik Wilks, Ben Heneghan and Akin Famewo in the final battle for promotion to the Championship, while the approach of George Byers remains doubtful.
