FootyMAD's Bristol City match preview

History of the Barnsley v Bristol City fixture

Barnsley prepare to entertain Bristol City at Oakwell on Sunday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Tykes are clearly on top, having won 21 and lost only 6 of the 36 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Oakwell was earlier this season, the Tykes carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a F.A. Cup match.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Barnsley at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Tykes will at least gain a draw. No-score draw

Sequence statistics:
Barnsley	Failed to win in previous 2 home matches. Latest 2 games ended in defeat. Not won in the 3 most recent games.
Bristol City	Not won in previous 6 away matches. No win in the 2 most recent games.
