Points have been hard to come by for Derby County so far, and the same description fits Barnsley. The bottom dwellers would trade their mothers for some crucial points here.

Insights:
  • Derby County have the fewest matches over the total-line (5) in Championship
  • Barnsley have the fewest scored goals in the second half (9) in Championship

These are active days for the team playing at home, as they had a game only four days ago in the Championship. That game was an away game at Cardiff City, so at least Derby County are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Derby County form and stats

8-6-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Championship numbers at home for Derby County so far this season. When Derby County hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Cardiff City, Birmingham City, Hull City, Reading, Derby County, Bristol City and Peterborough United), they have won 3 of 4 matches! County has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Rooney and the players.

Stress levels are on the rise for Derby County's attacking players as they have now played 182 minutes without scoring in a league game. Cooper (own goal) was their last goal scorer.

No payout for Derby County in their previous match, an away game at Cardiff City that ended in defeat 0-1. Cashin, defender, was given a rating of 7.75/10 in that game, top of the team. Cashin won 10 of 11 duels.

Prior to that, an away loss at Luton Town.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does County handle that role? We have found four games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are two wins, zero draws and two defeats.

Derby County are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 23 goals in 17 games. Derby County are not conceding a lot of goals here at Pride Park Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 16 from 17 matches.

Barnsley form and stats

There's been little loot from Barnsley's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 17 away games in the Championship. Barnsley only have 1 win to counter their 12 defeats and 4 draws.

Barnsley won their last game, 3-2 versus Middlesbrough played at home. Bassi got a match rating of 8.52 in that game, top player of the team. Bassi scored two goals, served one assist and hit one key pass.

Prior to that result Barnsley won their away game at Hull City. The scoreline was 2-0.

Barnsley are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, three draws and seven defeats. From a total of eleven matches.

After this away game Barnsley return home for a Championship game against Stoke City. That game is only three sleeps after this.

The attacking power of Barnsley when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 17 league matches away. Barnsley's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 29 goals from these trips. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

Barnsley - County 2-1 was the score in these squads' previous head-to-head fixture, played this season. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Derby County four wins, two draws and Barnsley four victories. As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.
