Interesting Stats

One thing Peterborough matches guarantee is goals- their have been an unequalled 70 in their 19 matches this season, an average of nearly four per match! Only Southampton have scored more than the Posh in the Championship and no team has conceded more.

Unsurprisingly then, the Posh are yet to keep a clean sheet this season and they have won just one of their last seven matches to drop from the play-off places to midtable..

Peterborough have scored an incredible nine goals in the final ten minutes of matches this season but Barnsley have conceded only twice at this stage of games.

Barnsley are searching for a third successive league win after victories over local rivals Doncaster and Leeds. The last time they achieved such a feat was 13 months ago.

A win for The Reds tomorrow would give them their third away win of the season and equal their entire total for 2010-2011.

The Reds have a very good record at London Road and have won on each of their last four visits there.

In fact Barnsley are unbeaten home or away against Peterborough in the last four meetings, winning three of them.
