An important duel in the bottom section of the Championship, with both Derby County and Barnsley experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 23rd and the visitors in 18th place.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Derby County form and stats
Derby County, who have the fewest scored goals (5) in Championship, have collected 1 point from their Championship home games so far after 0-1-4.
The County crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Queens Park Rangers here at Pride Park Stadium in a Championship match. Before that, County played out a draw 1-1 when visiting AFC Bournemouth.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

Barnsley play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-3 to Cardiff City (placed 13th). That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Watford.
