Barnsley play host to Coventry City at Oakwell on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Tykes are clearly on top, having won 12 and lost only 3 of the 21 games.
The last time the two teams met at Barnsley was back in September 2001, over five years ago, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Division One match.

Recent respective form guides
Barnsley have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. The Tykes's have scored 9 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 10.
Coventry City's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Sky Blues have hit 6 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Barnsley are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 12 points from 13 matches. Coventry City's 19 points from 13 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Tykes at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Sky Blues come away with an easy victory. Away win
| Sequence statistics: | |
| Barnsley | Failed to win in previous 3 home matches. Not won in the 6 most recent games. |
| Coventry City | 11 games since last away draw. Last drawn game 11 outings ago. |
