After recording a 3-1 win in December, Barnsley are looking to record their first league double over Reading since 1996-97, a season in which the Tykes were promoted to the Premier League.

Reading are unbeaten across their last 10 league visits to Barnsley (W5 D5), scoring at least once in each of those matches, although each of their last four in a row have all finished 1-1.

Barnsley have failed to win any of their last four home league games (D2 L2), the Tykes haven’t endured a longer run without victory at Oakwell since a streak of six matches ending in February 2022.

Reading have won just two of their last 17 away league games played on a Saturday (D3 L12), though the Royals did win their last such match 3-1 against Carlisle United.
