Interesting Stats:
Barnsley have lost just one of the last seven meetings with Oldham (excluding a penalty shootout) and did the double over them the last time they were in the same division (2005-2006) scoring seven goals and conceding none.
Barnsley have a strong home record against the Latics, winning 19 of 39 meetings at Oakwell and they are unbeaten in the last nine here.
The two sides meet in league combat for the first time in 10 years.
Oldham are showing signs of returning to the form that saw them sitting pretty in second place back in October following an 11 match unbeaten run. They have won only four of the following 11, but two of those victories have come in their past three matches and victory at Oakwell tomorrow will see them return to the play-off places.
The Lactics are poor on the road however, and have won only one of the last nine, although six of them have been draws.
Oldham are indeed the draw specialists in the division, their total of 10 is, along with Walsall, the most in League One.
They have only been involved in one stalemate in their past eight outings, four of which have ended in defeat.
Oldham have conceded 38 goals so far this campaign, the most amongst the top 13 sides.
