In this 2nd week match, on Saturday Aug 6th, Barnsley will host Cheltenham Town at Oakwell Stadium in a clash of the League One. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 18 degrees, which is great football weather. In their last match, Barnsley recorded a 0-1 loss against Plymouth Argyle. Finn Azaz struck first for Plymouth Argyle in the 45th minute on a feed from Bali Mumba, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Barnsley couldn’t muster any offence and Plymouth Argyle ran away with the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Cheltenham Town recorded a 2-3 loss against Peterborough United. Frankie Kent struck first for Cheltenham Town on an own goal in the 30th minute, then Alfie May added another in the 39th minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 72nd minute on a goal by Jonson Clarke-Harris. Cheltenham Town looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out.
Alfie May has been the most effective weapon for Cheltenham Town lately. The English midfielder has netted 3 goals in his last five matches. Jasper Moon and Aiden Marsh are the top scorers for Barnsley in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.
