Barnsley Preview – Can Barnsley continue revival?
Following the resumption of the Championship season after the campaign was out on temporary hold, Barnsley have staged something of a comeback in recent times as the South Yorkshire club have picked up four points from their two matches since the re-start.
A 1-0 win away from home at QPR was followed by a solid point in a 0-0 draw at home with Millwall on the weekend, and they’ll now turn their attentions to Tuesday night where The Tykes once again hold home advantage at Oakwell when they entertain Blackburn Rovers.
Indeed, Barnsley have given themselves a fighting chance of survival having suffered just two defeats out of their last seven matches overall which also includes earlier wins against Fulham (3-0 away) and a 1-0 win at home against Middlesbrough.
13 of Barnsley’s 20 home matches to date have seen both teams score as well.
Blackburn Rovers Preview – Can Blackburn stay in the hunt?
Although they were handed a 2-0 defeat away from home at Lancashire rivals, Wigan Athletic, on Saturday, Tuesday night’s visitors, Blackburn Rovers, are still in the frame for a possible top six finish and a spot in the play-offs and Tony Mowbray’s men will be keen to take all three points at lowly Barnsley to strengthen their claims.
However, this may be easier said than done as Rovers have won just one of their last six matches overall in the Championship which came in the form of a 3-1 home win against Bristol City but back-to-back defeats on the road at Derby County and Wigan may suggest an away win at Oakwell could be beyond Blackburn here.
Nevertheless, 11 of Blackburn’s 19 away matches have seen both teams score and it seems reasonable to expect Blackburn to be able to breach Barnsley’s defence at least once in this upcoming clash at Oakwell with the likes of forward Armstrong (12 goals) and midfielder Dack (9 goals) in their personnel.
