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 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Derby County's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 leaked at the wrong end.
Barnsley are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 41 points from 39 matches. Derby County are leading the way in the Coca-Cola Championship, with their 39 games giving them a return of 73 points.

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 Rams come away with an easy victory. Away win
