Barnsley prepare to entertain Swindon Town at Oakwell on Saturday afternoon, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. Of the 22 games played, Tykes have recorded 9 wins, and Swindon Town have come away with 5 victories.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Oakwell was less than a year ago, in October 2004, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a League One match.
