Burton Albion welcome Barnsley at Pirelli Stadium, Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire on Saturday, Apr 3 at 4:00 PM in a League 1 fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
Burton Albion come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Barnsley travel in mixed form (2W 1D 2L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
Despite playing at home, Burton Albion face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Barnsley have won 5 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Burton Albion a slight edge, but Barnsley are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
