Barnsley vs. Sunderland - Stats

A few stats for fun to see how the two teams match up.........

Home & Away Form

Barnsley's unbeaten home form has seen them win 7 of their last 8 home games with just one draw and only 3 goals conceded whilst scoring nearly two goals a game in reply.

Sunderland's away form has been less than impressive seeing them win twice against a struggling Bristol Rovers and a decent Blackpool side back on 1st January. They've drawn 5 of those games against Wycombe, Oxford, Scunthorpe, Charlton and Walsall.




Team Scoring First

Stats suggest that should Barnsley get the first goal it will be difficult for Sunderland a get a win, but at the same time Barnsley should be confident form coming from behind at home given Sunderland's inability to hold on to a lead in away games.




1st Half vs 2nd Half - Goals For & Against

Barnsley have won many of their games after strong first half performances, scoring 18 and conceding just 3 whilst Sunderland have struggled in comparison.The 2nd half has seen Barnsley less effective but still in control of games whereas Sunderland have been much stronger yet still prone to conceding goals.



Stats Prediction*

Barnsley to win given their great home form and Sunderland's inability to convert draws into away wins and the fact they'll be playing 4 games in 10 days on the back of a gruelling draw away at Wycombe which ran into the 15th min, seeing them pick up an injury and a sending off.


* games aren't won on paper, obvs.

 

Hope so!

 

over the years we've beaten Sunderland numerous times. They're to be respected but they're certainly nothing to be afraid of.
Let's get stuck in!!!

They seem to score a lot of goals late in matches - often earning draws.
