Barnsley form and stats

Barnsley have collected 19 points from their League One home games so far after 6-1-3. It’s been three wins in a row for Barnsley here at Oakwell Stadium, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.

The home team returns to Oakwell Stadium after drawing with Accrington Stanley (placed 20th) on their last time out; the game ended 1-1. Midfield player Phillips got a match rating of 7.61 in that game, the max score being 10. Phillips served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Burton Albion in a game that was won 2-0.

Not much happening? In this club's last 11 league matches, 9 have produced less than three goals (under 2.5).

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the League One game versus Bolton Wanderers in only four days. This game is also played here at Oakwell Stadium.

A decent goal production from Barnsley in their home games so far, with 15 goals from 10 league matches. From these home matches, Barnsley have conceded only 9 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Fleetwood Town form and stats

The visitors are W3-D6-L2 on the road this term. That's in the League One.

Fleetwood might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Sheffield Wednesday proved too strong as Fleetwood Town slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Highbury Stadium. Rooney was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.45. The defender Rooney hit the woodwork once and won 4 of 9 duels.

Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Milton Keynes Dons.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Fleetwood Town when being an outsider away as they are today, we find 7 matches with the visitors losing 4 times, drawing 2 and winning 1 game.

Take note! Both sides have scored in 9 of this club's last 11 league games.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Fleetwood Town manager Brown as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Shrewsbury Town.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Fleetwood have scored 14 goals in 11 league games away. 13 goals have been conceded by Fleetwood Town in these games.

Head 2 Head

Barnsley have been victorious in every one of the 4 most recent games against this opponent. Will the streak continue?

The latest past scoreline between these squads is the Fleetwood Town - Barnsley 0-1 played not long ago this season.
