Barnsley form and stats
Barnsley have only collected 2 points from their away games in the Championship, after 0-2-8 (10 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in eleven away games in a row.
Barnsley are travelling after their nice 5-3 home win in the Championship against Queens Park Rangers (placed 13th). A draw for Barnsley before that, at their own venue hosting Reading (1-1).
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Barnsley, as mentioned above. 8 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? It's hard not to mention Conor Chaplin's lethal finishing against Queens Park Rangers. 3 goals was a big reason for the three points.
We have checked recent matches where Barnsley have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those five games were W0-D2-L3.
The attacking power of Barnsley when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 10 league matches away. The Barnsley manager A. Murray has some worries about the defense as 21 goals have been conceded in these travels.
