Wrexham has long been recognized as one of the most successful clubs from Wales competing within the English FA system. They have mostly played in lower leagues such as League One and League Two, but this season, they are showing serious ambitions for promotion to the Championship. After 17 rounds, Wrexham has accumulated 34 points and currently holds 2nd place, which secures direct promotion.
Barnsley is also among the teams vying for a high finish. They are currently in a solid 6th position with 27 points. Although their form has dipped slightly in the last three matches, earning only two points, they have shown excellent results on the road over the past month, recording three wins and one draw away from home.
Wrexham vs Barnsley Prediction: UNDER 2.5 GOALS
Wrexham's results at home have been phenomenal in recent months. Not only have they remained unbeaten in their last 17 home matches, but they have also kept a clean sheet in their last five games. Barnsley, on the other hand, is a dangerous opponent with a strong record on the road. They are likely to adopt a more cautious approach, so we can expect a match with a low number of goals. Under 2.5 goals seems like a good betting option.
