THE KEY STATS
- Barnsley have won just 1 of their last 6 Championship matches.
- Middlesbrough have failed to win any of their last 7 Championship matches.
- Both teams have scored in 11 of Barnsley's last 13 home Championship matches.
- Middlesbrough have scored at least 2 goals in 4 of their last 5 away Championship matches.
- Middlesbrough have conceded the first goal in their last 6 Championship matches.
THE PREDICTION
Barnsley gave themselves fresh hopes of survival after victory at Fulham last weekend. The win will have given the Tykes a huge boost in confidence and with home advantage against a Middlesbrough side winless in seven Championship matches, they could make it two victories on the bounce here.
