Burton v Barnsley Preview
By Red Army
November 4 2016
Barnsley are looking for back to back away victories for the first time since September when they travel to play Burton Albion on Saturday.
Burton currently sit 18th in the table but are only three points below the reds.
The Brewers are strong at home and are currently three games unbeaten on their home soil.
This clash is only the fourth meeting between the two sides. The first was a recent as 2014-15 when the reds won 5 – 0 in a FA cup tie.
Last season saw the two clubs meet for the first time in the league with Barnsley the victors at Oakwell and honours even at the Pirelli.
Conor Hourihane and Josh Scowen return from suspension but it he may be difficult for both to return to the starting eleven with Sam Morsy impressing in their absence.
Adam Hammill is pushing for a start again after coming from the bench to score the equaliser against Bristol City.
Tom Bradshaw and Marc Roberts are hopeful of recovering from a sickness bug but Aidy White and Saidy Janko remain out.
Burton are expected to name the same side for the third game in a row with former Barnsley striker Chris O’Grady in attack.
Reds fans lets have your prediction for this one. For once it is a game that we are expected to win so for that reason I expect us to slip up. 2 – 2 is my prediction.
