Barnsley form and stats

1 victory, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what Barnsley, who have the fewest scored goals (5) in Championship, have to build on here at Oakwell Stadium in the Championship. Barnsley has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager D. Stendel and the players. With Barnsley having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager D. Stendel.

Barnsley's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-3 versus Brentford (placed 14th). Prior to that, an away loss at Nottingham Forest.

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 three matches with the results: Won 0 Drawn 2 Lost 1.

There will be little rest for Barnsley after this match as they are travelling to Preston North End for a Championship game in only three days.
