After three games we know a little more about the qualities of Birmingham City and Barnsley in this fresh Championship season. Read our match preview!

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Birmingham City and Barnsley.

Birmingham City form and stats

Only one draw at home so far for Birmingham City. Last season their home statistics were 7 wins, 11 draws and 5 defeats from 23 matches.

Birmingham City lost their last game at Nottingham Forest after a 0-3 scoreline. In the match before that, Birmingham City hosted Bristol City and drew the game 1-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Birmingham City perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Birmingham City as a small favourite), we find ten games. Birmingham City has won 2 of these, drawn 4 and lost 4.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Birmingham City at home. 1 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Barnsley form and stats

The visitors' first away game ended a defeat. Last season Barnsley had these away match statistics: Played 23; won 11, drew 5 and lost 7. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Barnsley are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

There were no winners in Barnsley's previous match, a Championship home game that ended 2-2 vs Charlton Athletic. The game before that, in the Carabao Cup, was lost at home, a 0-3 defeat against Carlisle United.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found seven similar matches played by Barnsley in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Barnsley, 1 draw and 4 defeats.

A new game in only four days for Barnsley, the Championship home match versus Luton Town. Busy days.

It's early days yet, but Barnsley has scored 0 and conceded 2 goals from their travels so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

Birmingham City-Barnsley H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Birmingham City 3 wins, Barnsley 4 wins, 3 draws. 6 of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
