Interesting Stats:

Barnsley have lost just one of the last six meetings with Oldham and did the double over them the last season they met (2005-2006) scoring seven goals and conceding none.

Reds fans will be heartened though by the fact that three of those wins have come in the last seven trips.

Barnsley have scored exactly 100 goals in the 77 league and FA Cup meetings between the sides. Oldham’s next goal will be their 100^th.

 

Oldham are unbeaten in eight games in all competitions, (4 wins, 4 draws). They have though drawn four of their last five matches.

The Latics lost their first two home matches of the season but are unbeaten in five since.
