Barnsley prepare to entertain 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 4 of the 22 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Oakwell was less than a year ago, in October 2006, with Coventry City inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Tykes in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides
Barnsley's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Tykes have scored 5, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.
Coventry City's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. While the Sky Blues have hit 5 goals, 8 have hit the back of the wrong net.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Attention punters! I see this as an opportunity for the Tykes to get the show back on the road by taking all the three points available. Home Win
