History of the Middlesbrough v Barnsley fixture
Barnsley travel to take on Middlesbrough at Riverside Stadium on Tuesday evening, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 17 out of 24 times.
The last time the two teams met at Middlesbrough was more than a decade ago, in March 1995, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League Division One match.
