Competition: England Championship
Date: Sat 26.October
Match begins: 16:00 (UTC)
Venue: John Smith's Stadium (24500 seats)

An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic \"six-pointer\" with the home team placed 22nd and the visitors in 24th place.

It's no vacation for neither Huddersfield Town nor Barnsley as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Barnsley form and stats

There's been little loot from Barnsley's travels as they have only collected 2 points from 6 away games in the Championship. Barnsley, who have the most conceded goals (25) in Championship, only have 0 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws. Barnsley are desperate to end a twelve-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Fulham fixture.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to West Bromwich Albion (placed 1st) in their previous outing. The Championship match ended in a draw 2-2. A draw for Barnsley before that, at their own venue hosting Swansea City (1-1).

It looked so good for Barnsley vs West Bromwich Albion, but the job was not completed and two points were lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.

Barnsley are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 0 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of six matches.

Barnsley are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 3 goals from 6 away games. Barnsley have conceded 12 goals in these games.
