Recent respective form guides
Peterborough United's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Posh have scored 9, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.
Barnsley's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Tykes have hit 7 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Peterborough are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 12 points from 14 matches. Barnsley lie just outside the playoff positions in the Nationwide League Division Two, picking up 22 from their 13 games so far.
