Barnsley pack their bags to visit Scunthorpe United at Glanford Park Stadium on Tuesday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Tykes will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The previous match played between the two at Glanford Park Stadium was within the last three years, in August 2005, the Iron carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a League One match.
