Barnsley form and stats

With 4 Championship wins, 4 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Barnsley are certainly not brimming with confidence. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Barnsley after consecutive victories at their own ground.

The regulars are hoping that Barnsley will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the match against Derby County (placed 22nd). Styles (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.11/10. Styles hit three key passes and had 26 successful passes (of 32 total).

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Middlesbrough in a game that was won 3-2.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Fulham are coming to town in four days.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Barnsley here at Oakwell Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (12 from 16 games). On the other hand, Barnsley have conceded 19 goals.

Stoke City form and stats

5 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses. That’s the product of Stoke City playing as the away team in the Championship this season. Three has not been a lucky number for Stoke as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Birmingham City match.

Home advantage was not enough for Stoke City in their previous game as they lost hosting Blackpool, 0-1. Jagielka was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 8.11. The defender Jagielka hit two key passes and won 6 of 9 duels.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Stoke manager O'Neill as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Peterborough United.

Stoke City find the net regularly in their away games. 17 goals from 16 away fixtures in the league. 18 goals have been conceded by Stoke in these games.
