Swansea made it 3 wins in a row, and 4 wins from 5 by defeating relegation-threatened Derby 2-1 on Saturday. Swansea have been playing fantastically lately and are currently one of the best teams in the Championship. "The Swans" controlled the early stages of a game against Derby and took a deserved two-goal lead thanks to Piroe's brace, before a quiet second half saw them see out the rest of the game comfortably. Swansea sit in 14th and remain 8 points off the playoff places, but do have a game in hand to retain some hope of reaching the top six. This will certainly be a great motivation for the host from Wales, so I expect that he will enter this match with a lot of confidence and attack from the first minute. They are unbeaten in last 15 meetings with Barnsley, including wins in 4 of the last 5 games, so tradition is on their side as well. Third bottom Barnsley have lost 9 of their last 10 away games and they have been playing poorly in last few weeks. First-choice keeper Collins is sidelined but captain Woodrow could return, also important defender Helik again out. Barnsley is winless in last 3 games and the team has only one win in last 7 games (3 draws, 3 defeats). Although they have a mathematical chance to stay in the league, I think that this team does not have the quality to survive in the last games. To be fair they had a lot of problems with injuries and they played almost half of the season without half the team. Swansea are in much better shape at the moment, they are playing very well and I think they will win today without any major problems.

My prediction;

Outcome: Swansea to win

Goals: over 2.5

斯旺西在周六以2-1击败保级威胁的德比，取得3连胜，5胜4负。斯旺西最近的表现非常出色，目前是锦标赛中最好的球队之一。 “天鹅队”在对阵德比郡的比赛的早期阶段控制了比赛，并在皮罗的梅开二度的帮助下取得了当之无愧的两球领先，之后安静的下半场让他们轻松地完成了剩下的比赛。斯旺西排在第 14 位，距离季后赛名额还有 8 分的差距，但确实有一场比赛可以保住进入前六的希望。这对来自威尔士的东道主来说无疑是一个很大的动力，所以我希望他能从第一分钟就带着很大的信心和进攻进入这场比赛。他们在与巴恩斯利的过去 15 次交锋中保持不败，包括过去 5 场比赛中的 4 场胜利，因此传统也站在他们这边。排名倒数第三的巴恩斯利在过去 10 场客场比赛中输掉了 9 场，而且他们在过去几周的表现不佳。首选门将柯林斯缺阵但队长伍德罗可以回归，同样重要的后卫赫利克再次出局。巴恩斯利近3场不胜，球队近7场仅赢一场（3平3负）。虽然他们有数学上的机会留在联盟，但我认为这支球队没有在最后几场比赛中生存的素质。公平地说，他们在伤病方面遇到了很多问题，而且他们几乎有一半的赛季都在没有球队的一半的情况下打球。斯旺西目前的状态要好得多，他们打得很好，我认为他们今天会赢，没有任何大问题。

预测：斯旺西胜
