Barnsley

LWLLDL

Following on from tasting defeat last time out to Portsmouth in League One competition, Barnsley and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

For Barnsley, the goalscorers were Devante Cole (6') and John McAtee (59'). Kusini Yengi (9'), Colby Bishop (83') and Conor Shaughnessy (89') scored for Portsmouth.

The stats don’t lie, and Barnsley have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, conceding 9 goals overall. At the back, Barnsley can certainly do much better. Previous results aside, it remains to be seen if such a trend shall be sustained in this next game.

Ahead of this meeting, Barnsley are without a win away from home in their last 3 league games.
