Barnsley will trade tackles with Wycombe Wanderers on Wednesday

Wycombe Wanderers and Barnsley will trade tackles at Adams Park on Wednesday in the EFL Championship.

The hosts picked up a rare victory at the weekend, with a first-half strike by Ryan Tafazolli giving them a shock win against Preston North End.

Barnsley were also victorious as they edged a five-goal thriller against Bournemouth with a 3-2 victory.

That fixture at the Vitality Stadium was a direct six-pointer between two sides seeking a place in the playoffs. Barnsley's victory helped them consolidate their spot in sixth.

Wycombe Wanderers' victory did not have any impact on their league position, as they still occupy bottom spot in the standings. However, the three points gave them a slim chance of avoiding the drop, as they are now nine points away from safety.

Wycombe Wanderers vs Barnsley Head-to-Head

This will only be the eighth meeting between the sides. Barnsley have the better record with three wins and three draws to their name.

Wycombe Wanderers' sole victory came in a League One fixture in December 2018.

Their most recent clash came on matchday 17 of the current campaign, when Callum Styles and Cauley Woodrow helped fire Barnsley to a 2-1 home win.

Wycombe Wanderers have been poor throughout the campaign and it is no surprise to see them fighting to remain in the Championship after just one season. Their victory over Preston brought an end to a run of four consecutive defeats.

Barnsley are unbeaten in 11 conseutive Championship games, with eight of those games ending in a victory for The Tykes.
