History of the Peterborough United v Barnsley fixture

Barnsley face a trip to Peterborough United at London Road Ground on Tuesday evening, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 7 out of 9 times.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in November 2002, as the visitors ran out cosy 1 - 3 winners in a League Division Two match.

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.
