Monday 3pm: League One playoff final – Barnsley v Sheffield Wednesday
TV: Sky Sports Main Event/Sky Sports Football
Sheffield Wednesday to Win
Barnsley and Sheffield Wednesday go head to head on Bank Holiday Monday with a place in the Championship next season on the line.
Darren Moore’s men will be full of confidence after their stunning comeback from 4-0 down in their League One playoff semi-final against Peterborough.
Barnsley beat Bolton over two legs in their playoff semi-final and while they’ll create chances and cause a few problems, we’re siding with Sheffield Wednesday.
Sheffield Wednesday were unlucky to not go up automatically, with Moore’s side finishing two points behind Ipswich in second, so we fancy them to get the job done the hard way via the playoffs.
Both Teams to Score
While we’re siding with Sheffield Wednesday, we also like the look of Both Teams to Score.
Sheffield Wednesday netted 81 goals in their 46 League One games (plus five in their playoff semi-final), while Barnsley’s tally for the season was 80.
Both sides conceded in their playoff semi-finals and we know they have the quality to find the back of the net.
Sheffield Wednesday’s games this season have averaged 2.6 goals per game and Barnsley’s average is 2.8. Let’s hope that continues on Monday!

Michael Smith to Score Anytime
Michael Smith is Sheffield Wednesday’s top scorer this season with 20 goals, while he has also chipped in with seven assists.
The 31-year-old has scored five goals in his last four outings and he had a goal and an assist in their comeback at Hillsborough against Peterborough last time out.
Smith is shoot on sight and he’s had 16 efforts on goal in his last four games.
While Sheffield Wednesday have plenty of attacking threats like Josh Windass and Lee Gregory, we’re keen on Smith to Score Anytime.
Over 8.5 Corners
Our final Bet Builder selection is Over 8.5 Corners.
We’re expecting plenty of action at Wembley and shots will lead to deflections and corner kicks.
Barnsley’s League One matches this season averaged just under 10 corners per game, while Sheffield Wednesday’s tally is around nine.
Considering what’s on the line, both sides will know set pieces could be the difference between them playing in the Championship or League One next season. Over 8.5 Corners makes sense.
