A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : England: League One
Venue: Pirelli Stadium
Friday 3rd April 2026, 1500hrs (GMT)
Burton Albion’s inconsistent sequence of results in League One continued last weekend in the third tier when The Brewers were dealt a 1-0 defeat away from home at fellow strugglers Blackpool but Gary Bowyer’s side will be hoping they can set the record straight at the Pirelli Stadium on Good Friday.
Last time out on home soil, Burton Albion registered an important 2-1 home win against high-flying Bradford City which will still give the hosts plenty of confidence ahead of this upcoming tussle with Barnsley.
Results overall though have been inconsistent for Burton Albion who have managed to capture just three wins from their last nine outings while also being involved in two draws along with four defeats - a home record of 8-3-9 24/26 still gives the hosts a chance though.
Barnsley sit mid-table in 13th place in the League One table but the visitors have also experienced a drought in recent times in the domestic third tier as they have failed to win any of their last four games overall.
Three draws on the trot with Cardiff City, Mansfield Town and Wigan Athletic were followed by a disappointing 1-0 defeat at home to Doncaster Rovers last weekend while the bigger picture shows The Tykes have recorded just two wins from their last eight league matches overall.
Three losses within this period suggest Barnsley are not guaranteed a result at the Pirelli Stadium on Good Friday, especially with an overall away record of 4-6-7 23/31 to date.
The Betting Verdict
Burton Albion with home advantage look a decent prospect at good odds.
The Pick :
Burton Albion 2-1 Barnsley
