Recent respective form guides
Barnsley's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Only 4 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 in the wrong end.
Crystal Palace's away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. The Eagles's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 8 goals for and 7 against.
