Barnsley – Burton Albion

Barnsley host Burton Albion in what promises to be a tightly contested clash in the lower reaches of the table. The hosts sit 18th with just seven points from six games, having scored six and conceded eleven, while Burton sit a spot higher in 11th place on eight points, their record of ten goals for and against reflecting a more balanced but still inconsistent season. Both sides have only managed two victories each so far, but Burton’s two draws give them a slight edge in avoiding defeat. The encounter could prove decisive for Barnsley’s fight for survival, whereas Burton will be looking to build on their modest points haul and climb back into the top half.
