Barnsley v Bristol Rovers stats and head-to-head record (H2H)

Barnsley will be hoping to extend their unbeaten run against Bristol Rovers to five matches as the two play-off hopefuls lock-horns in League One this weekend.

The Tykes have taken eight points from their last four encounters with Rovers across the past two seasons, winning 2-1 on home soil last term after earning a point at the Memorial Ground a few months earlier.

Barnsley have actually won their last five home fixtures with the Gas too - a record stretching back to 1993.

Both teams have made creditable starts to the new campaign, accumulating seven points from their four matches apiece, with the hosts romping to a 3-0 away victory at Crawley Town last weekend, just days after dumping Championship side Sheffield United out of the EFL Cup at Oakwell.

Rovers, who despite scoring five goals less that their upcoming opponents this term, are locked-level with the Tykes thanks to a comfortable 2-0 win over Cambridge United last time out.
