Can Barnsley Leave Devon with a Point?

Plymouth’s two-year stay in the EFL Championship came to an end last term, as the Pilgrims were relegated back to the third tier. The Greens finished in 23^rd place on 46 points after 11 wins, 13 draws, and 22 defeats.

Plymouth are one of the promotion favourites, priced at just 9.00 to win the division. Only Luton Town and Cardiff City – who were relegated alongside Plymouth last term – are available at shorter odds. New boss Tom Cleverley will be eager to get off to a winning start.

This is Barnsley’s third successive season in League One following Championship relegation in 2022. Winning promotion could be tougher than ever this season, but Conor Hourihane’s men could be in the mix for a top-six spot.

Barnsley were a mid-table team last season, accumulating just 61 points from 46 games. The Reds won 17, lost 19, and drew ten, finishing 17 points behind the final play-off berth. How will they fare this time around?
