Recent respective form guides

Barnsley's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. A generous 7 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Norwich City's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Canaries have hit 6 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Barnsley find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 7 games have yielded only 4 points. Norwich City's 9 points from 7 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position.
