Barnsley on the other hand got 12 shots with five of them on target.
Bristol City on the other hand has turned their early season stutters around with back-to-back victories at Ashton Gate within the past week to sit seventh in the championship with seven points after five league opening matches. Coming into this game, Bristol City is unbeaten in four of their last six matches across all competitions.
Bristol City will want another win folowing 2-0 Championship success to beat Cardiff City in their previous match. In that game, Bristol City hadd 45% possession, 15 shots with three of them on target and goals scored by Tommy Conway (41′) and Rob Atkinson (64′).
