Recent respective form guides

Bristol City have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. While Robins have scored 8, a worringly large 16 have been leaked at the other end.

Barnsley's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Tykes have hit 9 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Bristol City find themselves struggling down in 16th position in the league having picked up 46 points from their 38 matches. Barnsley's 49 points from 37 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position.
