History of the Peterborough United v Barnsley fixture

Barnsley face a trip to Peterborough United at London Road Ground on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 8 out of 12 times.

The most recent encounter between these two sides 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,
