Barnsley have already guaranteed a place in the League One playoffs, but they still have an outside chance of securing automatic promotion recording three wins and a draw from their last four outings. The Tykes won their 26th third tier win of the season against Oxford United on Saturday thanks to Slobodan Tedic’s brace. As a result of the victory against the relegation-threatened Oxford, Barnsley have now recorded back-to-back clean sheets, and they now have the chance to claim three straight shutouts for the first time in League One this season. Meanwhile, Barnsley have been stunning at home in the last couple of weeks having won each of their last nine games at Oakwell.
Ipswich Town, on the other hand, are the highest scorers in the third tier this term, having found the back of the net 90 times in 43 outings so far. The Blues are heading into the match on the back of a 14-game unbeaten streak, winning 11 times in the process. Last Saturday, Ipswich secured their 26th league-win of the season courtesy of goals from Wes Burns, Conor Chaplin and Freddie Ladapo. The Blues have not lost a competitive game against Barnsley since November 2010, with their last 12 meetings producing five wins and seven draws.
Barnsley probable starting lineup: Isted, B. Thomas, Andersen, L. Kitching, Williams, Phillips, Connell, Kane, Zarkeche, Cole, Tedic
Ipswich Town probable starting lineup: Walton, Clarke, Woolfenden, Burgess, Davis, Morsy, Luongo, Burns, Chaplin, Broadhead, Ladapo
