Barnsley, Recent FormA 2-2 draw and a point gained against Peterborough United in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent result for Barnsley last time out.
With 12 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Neill Collins will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 7 goals in the same period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they've scored in 21 of their 23 games this season.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 7 games.
Goalscorer John McAtee will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Barnsley.
Wigan Athletic, Recent FormWigan Athletic will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-0 win in their home outing against Carlisle United.
Manager Shaun Maloney will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 6 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
With 5 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Wigan Athletic, Charlie Wyke will be looking to add more goals against Barnsley in this match.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 0-2 win for Barnsley.
The Latics will be looking to extend their current run of 4 clean sheets at Oakwell Stadium when they visit Barnsley.
When playing at home in the league, Barnsley have failed to win any of their last 5 meetings with Wigan, with the last 2 of those games ending in a draw.
With no real injury worries, Barnsley manager Neill Collins will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
There is only really one injury concern for the Wigan manager Shaun Maloney ahead of this clash, with Jason Kerr (Cruciate ligament) missing out, which gives Maloney a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
