Wanderers are only 90 minutes away from a return to Wembley in the League One play-off final.

But first they must overcome a tough test, heading to Barnsley in the semi-final second leg. The scores are level after last weekend’s 1-1 draw at the UniBol, with Dion Charles cancelling out Nicky Cadden’s opener.

Ian Evatt’s men are in strong form, having lost just one of their last 11 matches in all competitions during the business end of the season.

The Tykes have failed to win any of their last four matches, with their last victory coming against Oxford on April 22.

Michael Duff’s side have lost back-to-back home fixtures against Ipswich and Peterborough, failing to score on both occasions.

When and where is the game being played?

The fixture takes place at Oakwell on Friday, May 19 (8pm). Evatt’s men ran out 3-0 winners on their last trip to Oakwell in January, with Charles, Jon Dadi Bodvarsson and Kyle Dempsey all getting on the scoresheet.

The Yorkshire club played most of the game with 10 men after skipper Mads Andersen was given his marching orders for denying a goalscoring opportunity.
