Hull City are welcoming Barnsley for another important game after their 1-2 result against 6th-placed Preston North End.

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 Hull City and Barnsley.

Hull City form and stats

Hull City have collected 21 points from their Championship home games so far after 6-3-8.

The fans are hoping that Hull City will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Championship game against Preston North End (placed 6th). In the match before that, Hull City hosted Swansea City and drew the game 4-4.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Hull City have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found twelve matches with the results: Won seven, drawn one and lost four.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Hull City as they have a new game in only three days, a Championship match thankfully also at home. Leeds United are visiting.

A decent goal production from Hull City in their home games so far, with 27 goals from 17 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 28 goals have been conceded.

Barnsley form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Barnsley so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-11 (win-draw-lose).

The Barnsley goalkeeper Bradley Collins is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 194 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Impressive finishing from Conor Chaplin secured the home win 1-0 against Middlesbrough in their previous game. Prior to that result Barnsley won their away game at Fulham. The scoreline was 3-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Barnsley playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were zero Barnsley wins, one draw and four defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Barnsley manager A. Murray as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Reading.

The visitors have scored 15 goals from 16 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Barnsley have conceded 27 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

The dueling parties have met before this season: Barnsley - Hull City 3-1. Hull City-Barnsley H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Hull City three wins, Barnsley four wins, three draws. four of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
