Barnsley

DDLWWW 📈

Barnsley, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 0-1 Championship victory against Bristol City.

In that game, Barnsley had 54% possession and 15 shots on goal with 5 on target. The scorer for Barnsley was Carlton Morris (67'). Bristol City got 1 shots at goal with 1 on target.

Their latest results shine a light on the fact that huge efforts have been put in by the Barnsley backline. The Tykes have given the opposition little, resulting in the number of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper during their last six outings standing at 4. Such a pattern won’t necessarily be carried forward into this match, of course.

Pre-game facts show that Barnsley:

• are unbeaten in the league by Millwall in their previous 3 games.
• haven't won against Millwall in their last 2 league matches.
