Barnsley and Bristol City will be back in action this Tuesday when they lock horns at Oakwell Stadium in the 38th game week of the EFL Championship. Kickoffs at 15:25 EAT.
With 24 points won, Barnsley is in 23rd place on the leader board, which leaves the team in the Relegation zone. The team’s campaign so far is five wins against 21 losses, and nine draws. Barnsley have now gone four matches without suffering defeat at Oakwell, collecting eight points in the process, although they now face a Bristol City who remain as unpredictable and inconsistent as ever.
In their most recent game Barnsely shared spoils 1-1 versus Fulham in the Championship. In that match, Barnsley had 33% possession, eight shots with three of them on target and a goal scored by Carlton Morris (44′). Fulham got 16 shots with three of them on target and a goal by Harry Wilson (86′).
Bristol City heads into this meeting with 40 points, and in 19th place in the Championship, having won 11 games in total and lost 18 times, making a total of seven draws. Even though the team is not one of the leading names in the championship, Andreas Weimann has attracted attention. With impressive performances, he’s a key player in the Bristol City squad. In their last five matches they have three loses and two wins.
The Robins get into this meeting in high spirits following a 0-1 Championship win to beat Blackburn Rovers in their last outing. In that match, Bristol City had 47% possession, eight shots with three of them on target and goals by Andreas Weimann (90′). Blackburn Rovers got 14 shots with seven of them on target.
