Barnsley are hosting Nottingham Forest for another crucial match after their 0-1 result versus 14th-placed Blackpool.
- Barnsley have the fewest scored goals in the second half (1) in Championship
- Nottingham Forest haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
It's no vacation for neither Barnsley nor Nottingham Forest as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Barnsley form and stats
When playing at home in the Championship, Barnsley have managed 1 win, 2 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 4 games. Two draws in a row at home now for Barnsley.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 232 minutes without scoring a league goal. C. Woodrow was the last player to find the net.
The fans are hoping that Barnsley will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Championship game against Blackpool (placed 14th). Midfielder Callum Brittain was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.9 (out of ten) in that game. Brittain hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 4 of 6 times.
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Blackburn Rovers.The match schedule is unforgiving for Barnsley as they have a new game in only three days, a Championship match thankfully also at home. Millwall are visiting.
The lack of attacking qualities in Barnsley means that they have only scored 2 goals in 4 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Defensively Barnsley have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (2 in 4 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Nottingham Forest form and stats
Playing away, Nottingham Forest have won 1 game, drawn 1 and suffered 2 defeats in the Championship this season.
Nottingham played 1-1 against Millwall in their previous match. Midfield player Max Lowe was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.93/10. Lowe scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Huddersfield Town.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Nottingham Forest manager S. Cooper as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Birmingham City.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Nottingham Forest have scored 4 goals in 4 league games away. 4 goals have been conceded by Nottingham in these games.
