Cardiff City are unbeaten across their last nine league games against Barnsley (W6 D3), winning the last league fixture played between these two clubs 1-0 in February 2022.


Barnsley are winless across their last four away league games against Cardiff City (D1 L3) since a 4-3 victory in December 2016 courtesy of a 95th-minute winner from Ryan Williams. 


Cardiff have lost each of their last three midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) home league games, but have never lost four in a row in their Football League history.


Barnsley have won just three of their last 36 away league games at Welsh sides (D12 L21), although all three have been at Cardiff in 1983, 2010, and 2016.
