Just before the international break, Burton secured an impressive 3-2 victory over Port Vale courtesy of Dale Taylor’s brace and one goal from Jonny Smith. It was the Brewers’ 11th third tier victory of the season. Last time out, Burton played out a goalless draw against Cheltenham to claim just their second away clean sheet in the League One season. Having been involved in consecutive away games, Dino Maamria’s side will now return to home surroundings. Burton have collected 23 points from their 18 games at Pirelli Stadium this term.
Barnsley, on the other hand, have the third-best away record in the third tier this season, having collected 32 points from a possible 57 on the road. The Tykes secured a comfortable victory victory over Morecambe at home-ground Oakwell last Saturday. They raced into a three-goal lead by the 32nd-minute thanks to strikes from Devante Cole and Herbie Kane on either side of a Dynel Simeu own goal. Cole completed his brace after the break, before Bobby Thomas found the net in the stoppage time to wrap up a seventh consecutive home-win. It was Barnsley’s 11th victory from their last 13 outings, while they have recorded 23 third tier wins this season. Barnsley are in a good position to secure a playoff spot, but with five points separating them from the top two, they will be hoping securing automatic promotion.
