    • A narrow edge, nothing more. Barnsley is the shortest price on a book of 2.10 / 3.50 / 3.00 (1 / X / 2), an implied 43.5%. Across the three outcomes the book reads 43.5% / 26.1% / 30.4% on an overround of 9.5%.

    • In the league table Barnsley sit 9th on 4 points (1W 1D 1L) with Blackpool 1st on 7 points (2W 1D 0L).

    • Barnsley read W-D-L-L-L-W across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (2W 1D 3L) — more bad than good.

    • Blackpool read W-W-D-L-L-W across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (3W 1D 2L) — patchy.

    • Head to head the record reads 2-0-4 — Barnsley wins, draws, then Blackpool wins. Their last meeting finished Barnsley - Blackpool: 2-1.
