Barnsley head into this game coming off the back of a 0-0 League One stalemate against Cheltenham Town.
It has been all too rare in recent games where Barnsley have kept a clean sheet. The facts show that Barnsley have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 12 goals in the process. Still, it remains to be seen whether that pattern shall be replicated in this match.
