Barnsley prepare to entertain Swindon Town at Oakwell on Saturday evening, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. Tykes have the slight edge, having won 8 of the 19 games compared to Swindon's 5 wins.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Oakwell was less than a year ago, in February 2003, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Division Two match.
