Bristol City and Barnsley have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Championship.
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 Bristol City and Barnsley.
Bristol City form and stats
Bristol City have collected 23 points from their Championship home games so far after 7-2-6. It's trouble wherever Bristol are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Bristol, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Bristol City haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 270 minutes ago. N. Wells scored that one.
The Bristol City fans got no joy from their last match, a Championship game also here at Ashton Gate Stadium: A 0-2 defeat against Reading (placed 5th). A defeat was the result before that one, 0-6 away at Watford.
There will be little rest for Bristol City after this match as they are travelling to Middlesbrough for a Championship game in only three days.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Bristol here at Ashton Gate Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (14 from 15 games). 15 goals have been conceded.
Barnsley form and stats
The visitors are W5-D3-L7 on the road this term. That's in the Championship.
Barnsley won their last game, 2-1 versus Blackburn Rovers played at home. Prior to that result Barnsley won their away game at Brentford. The scoreline was 2-0.
After this away game Barnsley return home for a Championship game against Stoke City. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Barnsley find the net regularly in their away games. 15 goals from 15 away fixtures in the league. As opposed to that, Barnsley have seen the ball go into their own net 19 times on the road. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
