Barnsley prepare to entertain Leicester City at Oakwell on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 17 of the 49 previous games, with the Tykes winning just 15.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Oakwell was less than a year ago, in April 2007, with Leicester City inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Tykes in a Championship match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its not been a very profitable last few weeks for Barnsley, and I'm afraid the Footymad team cannot see it getting too much better here. Look no further than honours being even at the end of this one. No-score draw

| Barnsley | Been beaten in each of their previous 3 home matches. Failed to win in previous 3 home matches. Not drawn a match in their last 9 . |
