Barnsley form and stats

When playing at home in the Championship, Barnsley have managed 10 wins, 3 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 17 games. After failing to beat Cardiff City here at Oakwell Stadium, Barnsley has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of seven straight victories regardless of arena.

Barnsley's last game was hosting Birmingham City (placed 21st) and winning 1-0. In the game before, an away victory match versus Queens Park Rangers with a 3-1 scoreline.

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 two games) they have won two times, drawn zero and lost zero.

Barnsley are traveling soon after this match as the Championship match at AFC Bournemouth awaits in three days.

Barnsley are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 23 goals in 17 games. On the other hand, Barnsley have conceded 17 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Derby County form and stats

Playing away, Derby County have won 5 games, drawn 3 and suffered 9 defeats in the Championship this season. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in County's last three away games as they have all been lost.

C. Kazim-Richards was the last player to score for the away team. County haven't scored a league goal in the last 186 minutes.

There might be some fixture complaints from County as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Championship match against Coventry City (0-1). A 0-4 defeat away at Cardiff City before that.

We have checked recent matches where Derby County have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 14 games were two victories, two draws and ten defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Derby County are hosting Millwall in the Championship only three days away.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Derby County as they have only managed to score 13 times from 17 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Derby County have conceded 21 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

The dueling parties have met before this season: Derby County - Barnsley 0-2. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Barnsley won three games, one match ended with a draw and Derby County has six wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: eight / two
