Insights:
  • Barnsley have the fewest scored goals (32) in Championship

For Barnsley relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely. Preston North End is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

These are hustling days for the host team, as they played only four days ago in the Championship. This match was also played here at Oakwell Stadium. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Preston North End have had more rest.
