Peterborough prepare to entertain Barnsley at London Road Ground on Saturday afternoon, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having chalked up an impressive 8 wins out of 12 previous matches.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at London Road Ground was just last season, in October 2003, with Barnsley inflicting a narrow 2-3 defeat upon the Posh in a League Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Peterborough United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Posh have scored 7, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Barnsley's away form is none too clever either, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While the Tykes have hit 7 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Peterborough are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 30 points from their 34 games thus far. Barnsley see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League One, showing a record of 44 points from their 35 games played so far,

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Peterborough at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Posh will at least gain a draw. Score draw
