Exeter City form and stats

2-1-2 (win-draw-lost) are the League One numbers at home for Exeter City so far this season. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Exeter to get some points in this home game.

In their previous game, the manager Caldwell led his Exeter City to a defeat away at Charlton Athletic. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at St James Park. Sinisalo had a busy but productive day in the Charlton Athletic match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented. The striker Harper edged out all the other players in that game and got a match rating of 7.44 out of 10. Harper hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Northampton Town (0-2).

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the EFL Trophy game versus Arsenal U21 in only three days. This game is also played here at St James Park.

Exeter City have scored {4 league goals} here from 5 matches, not a lot.

Barnsley form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their League One travels is 4 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats. Long winning streaks away are a rare occurrence in football, which only makes Barnsley's record of four away victories in a row even more impressive. They last lost points away in the Bristol Rovers game.

Barnsley play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-0 victory visiting Cambridge United (placed 15th). As mentioned above, Barnsley was the only team on the pitch versus Cambridge United in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task. Barnsley goalie Roberts was high and low in the Cambridge United game, contributing eight saves towards the victory. Roberts (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 8.52. Roberts topped it up with a clean sheet.

A 0-1 loss hosting Blackpool before that.

The Barnsley manager Devaney has got the team scoring on the road, with 11 away goals in 5 league matches. The Barnsley defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average ({2 goals} in 5 games).

Head 2 Head
