Barnsley form and stats

When playing at home in the Championship, Barnsley have managed 9 wins, 3 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 16 games. The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Barnsley has won six games in a row. The Nottingham Forest match was the last time out without a victory. Barnsley are on a three game winning streak in their home games.

Ahead of that match, Barnsley won a home game hosting Millwall (2-1).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Barnsley have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found one game) they have won one time, drawn zero and lost zero.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Barnsley as they have a new game in only four days, a Championship match thankfully also at home. Derby County are visiting.

Barnsley are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 22 goals in 16 games. Barnsley's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 17 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Birmingham City form and stats

The visitors are W5-D8-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Championship.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Huddersfield Town (placed 19th) in their previous outing. The Championship match ended in a draw 1-1. That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Queens Park Rangers.

Birmingham are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is five wins, two draws and seven defeats. From a total of 14 matches.

The attacking power of Birmingham when travelling is not overwhelming with 14 goals scored from 17 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Birmingham as they have only conceded 14 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Birmingham City - Barnsley 1-2. Barnsley-Birmingham City H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Barnsley four wins, Birmingham City four wins, two draws. five of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
