Bournemouth Preview – Cherries to extend unbeaten run to four?
Bournemouth are back on track having taken seven points from their last three. After back-to-back defeats to Queens Park Rangers and Cardiff City, the Cherries have beaten Watford and Bristol City, and drawn with Preston North End.
Jonathan Woodgate’s men are in seventh place with 56 points to their name. So far, the club from the coast have picked up 15 wins from 35 matches, suffering 11 defeats and drawing nine times. They start the weekend just two points behind sixth-place Barnsley.
Three points on Saturday will see Bournemouth leapfrog Barnsley and move back into the top six with ten games to play. They have had an indifferent year so far, but the Cherries are in a good position as we enter the business end of the season. Can Woodgate’s men extend their unbeaten run to four and secure a vital three points on home turf?
Barnsley Preview – Will the Tykes maintain undefeated record?
Valerien Ismael’s Barnsley are one of the form teams in the Championship right now. The Tykes drew 0-0 at home with Derby County in midweek but won seven in a row prior to that. Since three defeats on the bounce in January, Barnsley are unbeaten in ten Championship games, winning seven and drawing three.
Before a ball was kicked this season, Barnsley were tipped by many for relegation. However, they have proved the doubters wrong so far. Make no mistake about it, with 11 games to go, the Yorkshire club are well and truly in the mix for promotion.
