Barnsley vs Rotherham Live Score and Live Stream

Preview

Barnsley take on Rotherham in the League Cup of England on August 26. Kickoff is scheduled for 18:45 UTC.

Anticipation reaches a fever pitch as the upcoming match sees Barnsley and Rotherham renew their battle, 6 months after their League One encounter which Barnsley won 0-1. Barnsley come into this match following a defeat to Wimbledon today, looking to bounce back with a stronger performance. Strengthening their defense will be critical to turning their fortunes around, since they've had trouble holding their opponents at bay, having conceded goals in each of their last ten home matches.

Rotherham approach this clash having drawn with Wigan today. They have struggled to make an impact, failing to score in their last three away outings, a situation that has raised questions about their attacking strategy.

This League Cup match offers a platform for Barnsley and Rotherham’s goal-scorers to step up and leave their mark on the contest. Barnsley’s attacking options, under the tactical direction of Conor Hourihane, have been bolstered by Adam Phillips and Davis Keillor-Dunn, the team’s top scorer, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Russell has already scored one goal in League Cup this season, with Cleary leading their creative tally in the league with one assist. Barnsley have also relied on Caylan Vickers, David McGoldrick and Luca Connell to energize their attack through key shots and passes.

Meanwhile, Rotherham’s top finisher Sam Nombe and Shaun Mcwilliams have played important roles in ensuring their attack, crafted under Matthew Hamshaw’s leadership, remains effective. Nombe has been Rotherham’s standout performer across all competitions, netting two goals, as Rafferty leads the creative efforts for the team, recording one assist across competitions. Supporting them are Martin Sherif and Reece James, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to Rotherham’s attack.
