An important duel in the bottom section of the Championship, with both Barnsley and Wycombe Wanderers experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 17th and the visitors in 22nd place.
- Wycombe Wanderers has the most conceded goals (16) away in Championship
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Championship. That game was also an away game, at Preston North End. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Barnsley form and stats
Overall Championship stats at home this season for Barnsley are 3-2-3 (wins-draw-losses). Barnsley are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Oakwell Stadium, having lost their two previous games here.
The Barnsley fans got no joy from their last match, a Championship game also here at Oakwell Stadium: A 0-4 defeat against AFC Bournemouth (placed 2nd). Before that match, a win away at Birmingham City.
Barnsley were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Barnsley matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, two draws and one defeat (from five games).
The manager V. Ismaël will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Sheffield Wednesday in only three days.
Barnsley has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. Barnsley have conceded 8 in these home matches. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Wycombe Wanderers form and stats
Wycombe Wanderers, who have the most conceded goals (16) away in Championship, have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Championship, after 1-2-5 (8 played). Wanderers has drawn their two previous away games.
Wanderers has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Preston North End for a Championship game that ended a draw (2-2). A 0-1 loss hosting Stoke City before that.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Wanderers playing away, we found four games. Results were one away win, two draws and one home win.
A quick return to home after this game, as Wanderers are hosting Coventry City in the Championship only three days away.
The visitors have scored 6 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The Wanderers manager G. Ainsworth has some worries about the defense as 16 goals have been conceded in these travels.
