Interesting Stats
Tomorrow’s match could be difficult to predict as both sides have won 37 of the 96 meetings between the two clubs.
The Reds though have won just one of the last four clashes at Oakwell and just two of the last eight overall.
Defeat for Barnsley would be their third in a row- something that has not happened since March 2010.
Victory for the Tigers tomorrow evening would be their third on the spin and they are unbeaten in their last nine Championship fixtures.
Interestingly, Barnsley are yet to defeat a side in the top half, whilst Hull are yet to lose away to a team sitting in the bottom half.
The Tigers are on an incredible run away from the KC Stadium, having lost just three of their last 26 away matches.
