Barnsley are welcoming Stoke City for another important game after their 2-2 result against 6th-placed Bristol City.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Barnsley form and stats
Barnsley's results here at Oakwell Ground in the Championship have been very modest with 1 victory, 4 draws and 3 defeats. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 14 attempts. With seven home games in a row without a win, the Barnsley fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Fulham game long ago, can be stopped today.
The home supporters saw a 2-2 draw versus Bristol City in the Championship last time out and are looking for a win here. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Huddersfield Town.
There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Bristol City as C. Woodrow's goal in the 90th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a point.
Barnsley has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Barnsley defense is not exactly impregnable. 15 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Stoke City form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Stoke City so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-5 (win-draw-lose). Three has not been a lucky number for Stoke City as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Fulham match. Stoke City has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
The manager R. Delap was unhappy after their last game, a Championship match played at their home ground Oakwell Ground. Stoke City suffered a 0-2 loss to West Bromwich Albion (placed 1st). Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Millwall's place.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Stoke City as they have only managed to score 5 times from 7 away games in the league. Stoke City have conceded 12 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
Last four meetings between the teams: Barnsley won 1, Stoke City won 0 and 3 draws. 2 games with over 2,5 goals, 2 matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
