Port Vale, Recent FormPort Vale had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 1-1 draw against Wycombe Wanderers.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 7 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a dismal run of form at Vale Park recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 home games, their solitary win providing little consolation. If they want to get anywhere this season, they'll need to do something very quickly to fix their home form, having lost 5 of the first 9 league games at Vale Park.
On an individual basis, Ben Garrity will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Port Vale's last 6 league games.
Barnsley, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-1 home win over Stevenage in their last league game, Barnsley will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work.
Manager Neill Collins will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 9 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they've scored in 19 of their 21 games this season.
They have had a good run of form away from home recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 3 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Devante Cole will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 12 goals in Barnsley's 21 league games this season.
Port Vale will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Barnsley, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 7-0 defeat.
Goals should be on the cards for The Tykes in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Port Vale in their last 9 meetings together. Barnsley have a decent scoring record against The Valiants in recent times, having hit the back of the net 13 times in the last 5 matches between the two.
Barnsley has won the last 2 games they've played against Port Vale in the league.
Port Vale 2 - 1 BarnsleyWith no real injury worries, Port Vale manager Andy Crosby will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Barnsley manager Neill Collins has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
