Ferro enters the match sitting at the top of Zone A with 49 points from 25 games, having secured 15 wins, 4 draws, and 6 defeats while scoring 31 goals and conceding 23. All Boys, meanwhile, finds itself in 13th place with 27 points from 25 matches, recording 5 wins, 12 draws, and 8 losses with a goal difference of minus 8.

league: England - EFL Cup

Barnsley are set to host Crewe Alexandra at Oakwell Stadium on Tuesday, 25 August 2026, in a first-round EFL Cup tie that promises an intriguing clash between League One and League Two opposition. The Tykes will be looking to capitalize on home advantage as they kick off their Carabao Cup campaign against the Railwaymen, who earned their place in the competition through the previous season's league standing.

Barnsley head into this cup tie looking to bounce back from a mixed end to their previous League One campaign, which saw them suffer a narrow 1-0 defeat at Stevenage and grind out a hard-fought 0-1 victory away at Northampton Town in late April. Earlier in the year, they also played out a 0-0 stalemate against Port Vale, highlighting their occasional struggles to break down disciplined defenses.
