History of the Barnsley v Coventry City fixture

Barnsley prepare to entertain Coventry City at Oakwell on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Tykes are clearly on top, having won 12 and lost only 4 of the 22 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Oakwell was less than a year ago, in October 2006, with Coventry City inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Tykes in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides

Barnsley's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Tykes have scored 5, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.

Coventry City's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. While the Sky Blues have hit 5 goals, 8 have hit the back of the wrong net.
