Huddersfield vs Barnsley
England – Championship
Date: Friday, 22 April 2022
Kick-off at 19:45 UK/ 20:45 CET
Venue: John Smith’s Stadium.

Barnsley have been the absolute worst team in the competition this season, and it’s no wonder that they are placed bottom-most in the table. With just four games remaining for the team, they have to come up with a surplus of 12 points to avoid relegation.

Which is to say, that they need a 100% winning record here on even to have a mathematical chance of extending their stay in the Championship.

And this could be too much to handle for their defense, which is already weak.

Meanwhile, Huddersfield are placed third in the table, and they have been one of the best in the second division. They seem sure of a playoff ticket, but their objective will be to go after a second-place finish, which would provide them direct entry into the Premier League.

And since they seemingly have nothing much to lose, the team will be targeting a huge win this Friday. And do note that the team has a superb h2h record at this stadium over the years.
