FA Cup
Liverpool has not been convincing lately, despite being unbeaten in 10 consecutive matches across all competitions. It is unlikely they will lose now, despite the rotations that will be undertaken. Currently, Liverpool has three consecutive draws, the latest being a 0:0 away against Arsenal on Thursday. This presents an excellent opportunity to get back on the winning path, which would be welcome after several mistakes recently.
Barnsley comes from English League 1, which is the third tier of English football. They currently sit in 17th place and are without a win in their last four matches, losing three of them. It is clear that they may be more motivated now considering the opponent, and there’s another thing. The last match between Liverpool and Barnsley was a FA Cup round of 16 match in 2008, where Barnsley started with a victory of 2:1 at Anfield.
Prediction: -1.5 AH for LiverpoolI do not expect a surprise, despite mentioning the one that Barnsley created against Liverpool in 2008. It is unlikely they will repeat that again. Even with a changed lineup, Liverpool should win after their unimpressive matches lately, and I expect a somewhat easier victory for the hosts this time.
