Barnsley vs Bournemouth - 29/01/2022
4192
Barnsley are in last place in the Championship and eight points adrift of survival. Poya Asbaghi’s team is on the slow train down to League One and it doesn’t appear the trip to the third division can be stopped.
Bournemouth are out of form heading into the Saturday match. The Cherries lost four of their last six games in the Championship with two straight matches finishing as defeats. Manager Scott Parker has to stop the rot as Bournemouth are currently three points off of second place ahead of the weekend.
Barnsley are on a three-game losing streak in the division. They scored just four goals across their last six games while conceding 10 times.
Bournemouth took six points from the last 18 points available in the league. Parker’s Cherries scored six goals and conceded seven times across the last six Championship matches.
The Cherries smashed Barnsley earlier this season 3-0. Jordan Zemura scored on either side of a Dominic Solanke goal. Four of the last five games between these teams finished in wins for Bournemouth.
Asbaghi has three players on the absent list going into the weekend. Defender Liam Kitching has a knock and is likely to miss the fixture. Forward Cauley Woodrow is likely to miss the game due to a knee issue. Defender Aapo Halme is nursing a leg injury and is likely to miss out.
Parker is without midfielder Junior Stanislas due to a hamstring strain. Adam Smith is set to miss out with a knee injury. Ethan Laird and Robert Brady could both make the squad following knocks.
Barnsley have the Championship’s second-worst home points total. Their last four home matches ended without a win. The Tykes have recorded 10 points from 36 points possible at Oakwell.
Bournemouth have the Championship’s second-best away points total. The Cherries have taken 25 points from 42 points possible with a +7-goal difference. Bournemouth’s recent away record is poor. They have won just once in their last six road games.
The Cherries’ recent road form led to their fall out of the top two in the Championship. Despite the poor form, Bournemouth should claim a win against Barnsley at Oakwell on Saturday.
The win could send Bournemouth back into the automatic promotion places. Bournemouth are struggling for goals with 1.0 goals per game across their last six games.
The Cherries should win to nil with a single goal separating the two sides in the end. Expect a 1-0 Bournemouth victory.
