After their three-goal game against Huddersfield ensured the over 2.5 goals pick was a winning leg in our acca last weekend, it would be rude not to back it again for a Barnsley side who have now seen three or more goals in 10 consecutive games in all competitions. The reverse fixture produced a 3-2 triumph for the Tykes and when we consider that their away games this season average 3.16 goals, we can expect another open affair.
Hosts Leyton Orient sit just two points above the League One drop zone and so are in desperate need of points. Richie Wellens’ O’s have seen 2.75 goals per game at Brisbane Road this season, with this bet cashing in four of their last six as hosts. This is a meeting between the two worst defences in the division, and so with neither side able to rely on their backline, there should be plenty of emphasis on attack, which will hopefully lead to goals.
