Goal Statistics

Stevenage's fans will be hoping for goals on Tuesday evening, not least because Barnsley have conceded in each of their last 25 League One outings. A PG of 1.6 for A. Revell's side suggests that run should continue.

With a PG of just 0.9, Barnsley look set to struggle here. Add in the fact that Stevenage haven't conceded a goal in 3 consecutive League One matches, and it could be a long evening for C. Hourihane's men.
