Insights:
  • Barnsley have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Coventry have less rest than Barnsley in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Championship game only three days ago. That game was an away game at Rotherham United, so at least Coventry are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Coventry are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Barnsley are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
