TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Barnsley are on on run of two wins in 8 matches. The team were stuggling but last time out recorded a fine 1-0 away win at Charlton. In a game they were big underdogs they went to London and totally bossed the game. They gave a very strong defensive perfromance and never gave the home side a chance. Barnsley only have a small squad and they have been hit by a defensive injury crisis. Stephen Foster managed to return ahead of schedule but they still have 1st choice partnership Jim McNulty and Martin Cranie missing.
Crystal Palace are in supreme form at the moment and must have dreaded the international break as this may affect their momentum. Unbeaten in 8 games with 6 wins they are playing with great confidence.In star man Wilfried Zaha they have one of the players of the season so far. The defence however is plainly not good enough,they are undoubtably the weak point and if they have serious claims for at least a playoff place it will need addressing. One big problem to arise from the Palace run is that Bolton have taken a look at coach Dougie Freeman. Ruimours abound he is on his way out and this will be a massive blow. Defender Dean Moxey is suspended after the crazy handball that gifted Millwall a goal and ultimately led to the dropped points. Palace again were very dangerous going forward but typically let down by defence.

BARNSLEY - CRYSTAL PALACE PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

Crystal Palace 2.80 (Betvictor) is the selection. Even with the serious doubts over Palace's weak backline and the rumours of an exit for the coach I believe 2.80 is well worth a bet here. Barnsley are a solid unit but nothing more. They may trouble Palace and could score the 1 goal but no more. Palace will score at least one here as their attack is irresistable. Palace to march on with another three points.

BARNSLEY - CRYSTAL PALACE:ASIAN HANDICAP PREDICTION

Crystal Palace is the pick here at 0 (2.15 Pinnacle) Palace have afar superior attack and will score goals here. Barnsley are capable of nicking one and with the backline of Palace gifting goals a draw could be on the cards here. I really do not see Barnsley taking all thre points at all so draw no bet is the selected handicap. At 2.15 there is big value there for such a team in form.

BARNSLEY - CRYSTAL PALACE:TOTAL GOALS PREDICTION

Over 2.50 1.84 (Pinnacle) is the bet. Goals look likely here as Palace really are a box of tricks going forward and defending poorly into the bargain. Barnsley are quite solid and offer little up front but Palace are here and goals will be flying in. Last 10 matches has seen 5 games go over 2.5, with a total of 31 goals for an average of 3.1 goals per game.
