Preview

Barnsley were unable to break through Port Vale's defence on Tuesday night as the Tykes were forced to settle for a point and a clean sheet against the 23rd-placed side. Four points from their last two games have moved Conor Hourihane's men back into the top half of the standings, easing relegation fears.

Bradford were the latest victims of Stevenage's 1-0 scoreline last time out as Dan Kemp scored the only goal of the game at the University of Bradford Stadium. The Bantams had won back-to-back league games before that contest and remain in control of their play-off destiny.
