Football Bet of the Day: Vikings to feast on goals at Oakwell

Goals get a free pass at Oakwell

Tobias Gourlay is feeling bloodthirsty again on his way to south Yorkshire

Barnsley v Doncaster
Tuesday 19:45

Pacos Ferreira 1 Estoril 1 in Portugal last night. Blows landed by both sides and a shot in the arm for us.

Relegated from the Championship last season, Barnsley are determined that their loyal supporters get value for money in League One. Home and away, Danny Wilson's men have helped 13/18 games get Over 2.5 Goals, including eight in a row at Oakwell.

Six of those last eight home games have even gone Over 3.5 Goals. The Tykes are running at more than two goals a game on their own (18 in the eight), but their defence is so rickety (not a single clean sheet on home sod) that they are just one place (and no points) ahead of tonight's visitors.

16th-placed Doncaster Rovers came down to League One alongside their hosts and near neighbours, and they remain unshakeable. Paul Dickov's lot have scored in each of their last five away matches, even winning three of them.

But the Vikings too are much better on the front foot than in defence. They have conceded in seven consecutive road games. In total this term 7/9 of their away matches have delivered Over 2.5 Goals.
