Barnsley will welcome Oxford United to Oakwell this Saturday afternoon with just four games left to play for the Tykes in League One with the club having now secured a spot in the top six because of results in midweek.
Barnsley drew 0-0 with Lincoln City in midweek to put them onto 82 points. This now means they can come to within just two points of third-placed Sheffield Wednesday over time because of a game in hand, and as Derby have just three games left to play and a 10-point gap to overturn from sixth to fourth, it means the playoffs is secured for the Tykes.
Barnsley have also now won 25 games in the league this season, which is the same as Wednesday in third and Ipswich in second. They have, however, lost 10 games so far and come into this one with 38 goals.
Barnsley hammered Forest Green Rovers 5-1 last time out, as Slobodan Tedic scored after just eight minutes before Adam Phillips scored twice. James Norwood also scored once more, as Devante Cole added a fifth in the 90th minute.
It means just one loss to the club in April so far after also defeating Shrewsbury Town 2-1 and after also losing Burton Albion 2-1 let in and 74 goals scored - only Ipswich and Wednesday have scored more.
Oxford are heading into this one with a 1-1 draw against Portsmouth in midweek that has now seen the club move down into 20th in the table. What's more, Oxford come into this game with just a gap of three points on Morecambe in 22nd and a loss could see them steam down the League One table and into the relegation zone. They do, however, have a game in hand over the Shrimps.
