It's a battle between third place and fourth in the League One play-off final this season.
Sheffield Wednesday clocked up an astonishing 96 points and still fell short of Plymouth and Ipswich in the race for automatic promotion.
Even that was stress-free compared to their play-off semi-final comeback against Peterborough, which saw them mount an astonishing comeback from a 4-0 first-leg defeat.
That will give the Owls wind in their sails as they go up against a Barnsley side that have stuttered at the season's climax, winning just two of their last seven games.
Kick-off is at 3pm BST.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch EFL football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
