FootyMad's prediction ...
Its not been a very profitable last few weeks for Barnsley, and I'm afraid the Footymad team cannot see it getting too much better here. Look no further than honours being even at the end of this one. No-score draw
| Sequence statistics: | |
| Barnsley | 4 games since last home draw. Not drawn a match in their last 7 . |
| Brighton | Not won in previous 2 away matches. 4 games since last defeat. |
