Barnsley v Stevenage

League One, game week 5 — Saturday, 5 September 2026, kick-off 15:00 UK time

Step 2 of 4 — Home and away form.

What this step says

+0.44 points a game is the venue form gap, in Barnsley's favour: Barnsley takes 1.44 a game at home over the last two seasons, Stevenage 1.00 away.

Skip to the appraisal — and the market

Barnsley: 50 league matches in the bank, 4 from this season and the rest from last season. Stevenage: 50 league matches in the bank, 4 from this season and the rest from last season.

Step two is HOME AND AWAY FORM -- the home side judged on its home record, the away side on its away record, because those are the records that will be on the pitch. The last five reach back into last season where this season is too young to answer, and say so.

The two sides

Barnsley -- at home

Its record at the relevant venue: This season at home: won 1, drew 0, lost 1 of 2, scoring 2 and conceding 2. Last season at home: won 9, drew 6, lost 8 of 23, scoring 39 and conceding 37 -- 1.43 points a game.
Its last five league matches: Newest first: beat Blackpool 2-1 at home; beat Leyton Orient 3-1 away; drew with Doncaster Rovers 0-0 away; lost to Bromley 0-1 at home; lost to Stockport County 1-3 at home. The last of these is from last season.
The dugout: Every one of the 4 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Daniel Stendel. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.

Stevenage -- away

Its record at the relevant venue: This season away: won 0, drew 2, lost 0 of 2, scoring 1 and conceding 1. Last season away: won 6, drew 5, lost 12 of 23, scoring 19 and conceding 33 -- 1.00 points a game.
Its last five league matches: Newest first: drew with Peterborough United 0-0 away; drew with Doncaster Rovers 2-2 at home; lost to Oxford United 1-2 at home; drew with Burton Albion 1-1 away; lost to Stockport County 0-2 away. The last of these is from last season.
The dugout: Every one of the 21 banked matches with a manager recorded was taken by Alex Revell. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
