- Venue: Oakwell, Barnsley
An intriguing League One contest is set for Oakwell on Saturday afternoon as Barnsley takes on Burton.
Both teams kicked-off the new season in winning style, and with both operating on the front foot, a compelling clash should develop at Oakwell.
Barnsley have had the better of recent encounters, although Burton picked up a goalless draw on their last visit to this venue. However, this weekend's fixture promises to be a more compelling contest.

Barnsley team overview
Barnsley began the new League One campaign in fine fashion with an impressive 3:1 win at Plymouth last weekend. Davis Keillor-Dunn'late goal put the seal on an excellent away victory for the Tykes.
A decent run of results since the end of last season has seen the home side win four and lose just one of their last seven fixtures, including five warm-up fixtures.
Frequently involved in entertaining matchups with goals at both ends, all but two of Barnsley's last 14 games finished with over 2.5 goals scored. Fourteen of their 16 most recent matches also saw BTTS.
Head coach Conor Hourihane will be forced into at least one change to his first XI this weekend.
Jack Shepherd is suspended after picking up a red card in last weekend's win against Plymouth.

Burton team overview
Burton makes the trip to Barnsley on the back of a well-deserved 2:1 win against Mansfield last weekend. Charlie Webster's double-strike secured an opening day victory for Gary Bowyer's men.
The Brewers enjoyed a decent pre-season, picking up three wins from their last four friendly fixtures before their win against Mansfield.
Like the home side, Burton have been involved in several high-scoring fixtures this summer. Bowyer's boys have seen over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last seven games since the start of May.
Head coach Bowyer is likely to name the same XI that claimed the spoils against Mansfield. Geraldo Bajrami remains a long-term absentee for the visitors.
