Venue: Oakwell Stadium (23287 seats)

Season ticket holders at Oakwell Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Barnsley languishing in the 24th position so far. The guesting Blackburn Rovers will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Barnsley and Blackburn Rovers.

Barnsley form and stats

When playing at home in the Championship, Barnsley have managed 5 wins, 8 draws and suffered 7 defeats from 20 games.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Barnsley, as their goalkeeper Jack Walton has completely shut out the opponents for 204 minutes in the Championship.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Barnsley, who played 0-0 against Millwall. That match was also played at this venue (Oakwell Stadium). In the game before, an away victory match versus Queens Park Rangers with a 1-0 scoreline.

This is expected to be a close game, with Barnsley perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Barnsley as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Barnsley has won two of these, drawn five and lost four.

Barnsley are traveling soon after this match as the Championship match at Stoke City awaits in four days.

Barnsley has scored 26 league goals at home this season, in 20 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Barnsley defense is not exactly impregnable. 33 goals conceded from 20 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Blackburn Rovers form and stats

6-3-10 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Blackburn Rovers in their Championship matches away. Blackburn Rovers has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Two away games in a row for Blackburn Rovers, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-2 versus Wigan Athletic in the Championship. Before that, Blackburn Rovers secured a home win against Bristol City with the score 3-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Blackburn playing away and similar expectations, we found 16 relevant matches. Results were five Blackburn Rovers wins, two draws and nine defeats.

After this away game Blackburn return home for a Championship game against Leeds United. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Blackburn have scored 28 goals in 19 league games away. Blackburn's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 31 goals from these trips.
