Greeting visitors in their own stadium is safe and nice for Burton Albion, but Barnsley are fully determined and capable to get all three points. How will it turn out?
- Burton Albion have the most conceded goals in the second half (42) in League One
- Barnsley have the fewest dropped points from leading position (4) in League One
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
