The story so far for the visiting team on their League One travels is 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, the home loss versus Exeter City with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Cadden got a match rating of 7.15 in that game, top player of the team. Cadden hit two key passes and had 17 successful passes (of 21 total).

Preceding that game was the away League One victory against Fleetwood Town with the score of 1-0.

Barnsley has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 9 goals from 6 games. It's not easy to score on Barnsley as they have only conceded 5 goals from these away games.
