Barnsley form and stats

Barnsley was eliminated in the 1st round last season in the Carabao Cup.

7 victories, 9 draws and 7 defeats. That’s what Barnsley have to build on here in the Championship.

A strong away win for Barnsley against Brentford the last match, as Clarke Oduor and Callum Styles were on target. Sensational by Barnsley last match, beating Brentford away as big underdogs. Previous to that game, a Championship home match hosting Nottingham Forest in a game that was won 1-0.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of G. Struber when Clarke Oduor scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 86th minute. A late climax in the match against Brentford as the winning goal came one minutes into overtime; scored by Clarke Oduor.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Barnsley have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 13 matches with the results: Won four, drawn five and lost four.

Barnsley has scored 29 league goals at home this season, in 23 matches. 33 goals have been conceded.

Nottingham Forest form and stats

Last season their Carabao Cup adventure ended in the 3rd round.

8 wins, 11 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Nottingham Forest playing as the away team in the Championship this season.

Nottingham Forest might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Stoke City proved too strong as Nottingham Forest slumped to a 1-4 defeat in front of their own fans at The City Ground. Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Barnsley's place.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Nottingham Forest playing away and similar expectations, we found 20 relevant matches. Results were five Nottingham wins, eight draws and seven defeats.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Nottingham have scored 31 goals in 23 league games away. Nottingham have conceded 23 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Barnsley won four, Nottingham Forest won five and one draw. five games with over 2,5 goals, five matches with two goals or less.
