Looking to end their three-game losing streak, Barnsley play host to Cardiff City at the Oakwell Ground Stadium on Wednesday.
The Bluebirds, on the other hand, head into the game fresh off the back of ending their two-game losing streak and will look to keep the ball rolling.
Barnsley continue to struggle in the EFL Championship as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Bournemouth last Saturday.
They have failed to taste victory in any of their last 11 league outings, losing eight and claiming three draws since a 2-1 win over Derby County on November 3.
This horrid form sees them rooted to the bottom of the league table after picking up just 14 points from 27 games so far.
Meanwhile, Cardiff City found their feet last time out as they claimed a hard-earned 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest on home turf.
Prior to that, the Bluebirds were on a six-game winless run in the league, losing four games in that time.
With 26 points from 27 games, Cardiff City are currently 20th on the log, six points above the relegation zone.
Barnsley vs Cardiff City Head-To-Head
Cardiff City boast a superior record in the history of this fixture, claiming 28 wins from the last 56 meetings between the sides. Barnsley have won 14 games in that time, while the final 14 have ended all square.
