Looking to shake off the disappointment of relegation, Barnsley endured more misery on the opening day as they slipped to a 1-0 defeat at Plymouth. Despite that early setback, the Tykes are still expected to challenge for the playoffs and are targeting their first points of the campaign here. Cheltenham could have been sitting pretty at the top of League One had they replicated their first 45 minutes against Peterborough after the break. Unfortunately for the Robins, their 2-0 lead quickly turned until 3-2 deficit, which means the away side are also hoping to put something on the board in Yorkshire. 1:0
James Norwood could make his full Barnsley debut after coming off the bench against Plymouth, with Jack Aitchison potentially making way. Wade Elliott might be tempted to shuffle his pack after watching his side suffer a second half collapse against Peterborough on opening day weekend.
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Cheltenham's last 5 games (League One). Cheltenham have conceded at least 2 goals in 8 of their last 9 matches (League One). Cheltenham have failed to win 13 of their last 14 away matches (League One).
