In the final round of group stage action, Barnsley and Lincoln will lock horns in the EFL Trophy at Oakwell on Tuesday night.
The hosts are currently occupying second place in Group D, posting one win and one defeat to date.
As for Lincoln, they have already secured qualification to the knockout round after winning each of their opening two group games courtesy of a pair of 3-0 victories.
Barnsley will come into this clash after claiming a 2-1 win away at Doncaster in English League One on Saturday.
That victory snapped a five-game winless run in the third tier for Conor Hourihane’s team, lifting them up to 11th place in the table in the process.
Meanwhile, Lincoln are now winless in three league matches following Saturday’s 3-0 loss away at Rotherham.
How the bookies view it: Tykes to triumph
BOYLE Sports expect Barnsley to bank all three points on Tuesday night, with a home win trading at 23/20.
A 90-minute draw would be enough to secure Barnsley's place in the knockout round, an outcome that can be backed at 12/5 with BOYLE Sports.
Lincoln are as big as 8/5 on BOYLE Sports in their bid to make it three wins from three in Group D.
Head to head: Tykes targeting three on the trot
While Barnsley and Lincoln have yet to lock horns in English League One this season, the hosts could hold the psychological advantage here having won each of the two meetings between the pair last season.
Players to watch: Davis to Deliver?
With an impressive return of 10 goals across his 19 appearances in all competitions this season, Barnsley ace Davis Keillor-Dunn looks terrific value to make the net bulge here at 7/4 on Betfred.
Experienced Lincoln striker James Collins – who scored against Notts County on matchday one – is a 2/1 anytime goalscorer option with Bet365 on Tuesday night.
Predicted line-ups
Adam Phillips, Fabio Jalo, Georgie Gent, Josh Earl, Mael de Gevigney and Nathanael Ogbeta all missed out for the hosts on Saturday, and that looks set to be the case again this midweek.
Given that this game is essentially a dead rubber as far as the visitors are concerned, Lincoln boss Michael Skubala is expected to rotate his resources on Tuesday night.
Barnsley: Cooper, Russell, Roberts, Shepherd, Ogbeta, Cleary, Kelly, Farrugia, Bland, Keillor-Dunn, Connell
Lincoln: Wickens, Darikwa, Reach, Jackson, Towler, Collins, Ring, McGrandles, House, Varfolomeev, Draper
Anything else catch the eye?
With Barnsley in greater need of the points on Tuesday night, the hosts hold plenty of appeal to take top honours at the above-mentioned 23/20 price on BOYLE Sports.
The Tykes don’t have a league game to contend with this weekend, whereas Lincoln could have one eye on their home game with Doncaster.
On a similar line of reasoning to the above, Hourihane’s hosts also merit support to score two or more goals during this contest at even-money (1/1) with BOYLE Sports.
