Four of the last six duels have ended in draws and Barnsley have lost just one of the last eight. They are undefeated in their last three trips to Dean Court with the last time they left empty handed coming back in 1989. The Reds have scored in each of their last eight visits to Dean Court, stretching back 36 years. Barnsley are yet to keep a clean sheet this campaign, Bournemouth have scored in every league match. Bournemouth have lost four of their last six matches in all competitions but their 2-1 defeat against Blackpool on Saturday ended their 100% winning record at Dean Court this season. Indeed that result ended a run of seven straight home wins for the Cherries stretching back to last March. Bournemouth have conceded 14 goals in their six league games so far, there is only one side who has conceded more… Barnsley, who have shipped 16, whilst Championship games involving Bournemouth have generated 21 goals, only those involving Barnsley exceed that (24). Eddie Howe, who was in the Bournemouth side the last time these two teams met, is yet to see his side draw a game this season. They are the only side in the Championship yet to have a stalemate. Bournemouth have won four of their last five Tuesday night matches. Barnsley have scored at least twice in three of their last four league matches but have lost all three away games. They are the only side to have lost every away game so far in the Championship. In total The Reds have gone 10 away matches without victory since a 3-2 triumph at Middlesbrough in February. It is their worst run on the road since they went 13 without a win between 4th February 2012 and 22nd September 2012. They have lost four out of their last six games home and away and defeat at Dean Court would make this their worst start to a season since 2009-2010 when their first seven games also brought one win, one draw and five defeats. Striker Chris O’Grady is looking to net for the third successive game. The last person to do this was Jason Scotland who managed it in Jan/Feb. Barnsley have failed to win any of their last four Tuesday night matches. On This Day:
