H2H: Barnsley vs. Derby – Score prediction (02.10.2019)

Overview.

Barnsley are without a win in nine competitive matches (D2, L7), and defending remains the Tykes’ biggest issue, having conceded in eight of those nine matches. The ease with which their goal is being breached is highlighted by the fact that they conceded 2+ goals in seven of those eight games. Encouragingly, Barnsley have scored the first goal in three of their six competitive home matches so far. However, their record of winning just one of those matches further reiterates said defensive frailties. They conceded an equaliser before half-time in both matches where they forfeited the lead.

Just two league wins this season represents a poor return for Derby County (W2, D5, L2). They have failed to keep a clean sheet in their previous seven league matches, but did at least find the net themselves in six of those encounters. This has contributed to seven of their nine league matches seeing both teams score. The ‘Rams’ have typically been slow out of the blocks on the road, which has resulted in 85.71% of their away league goals conceded coming before half time. They are particularly vulnerable in the 16th-30th minute period, where they have conceded 57.14% of all their away league goals so far.
