Barnsley play host to Wolverhampton Wanderers at Oakwell on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Tykes are clearly on top, having won 19 and lost only 8 of the 36 games.
The last time the two teams met at Barnsley was just over four years ago, in January 2002, the Tykes carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League Division One match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Tykes at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Wolves come away with an easy victory. Away win
| Sequence statistics: | |
| Barnsley | Drawn last 2 games at home. Failed to win in previous 10 home matches. Not won in the 5 most recent games. |
| Wolves | Undefeated in last 5 away games. Last drawn game 4 outings ago. |
