Interesting Stats
Peterborough make the two hour trip to Oakwell looking for their third win in four outings but have failed to win any of their last seven away matches.
There should be goals tomorrow- Barnsley have the second worst defensive record in the Championship, Peterborough the third worst.
Just one point and one place separates the two teams with the Posh a place higher in 17th place.
Barnsley have lost four games on the bounce, all without scoring a goal. The last time they lost five on the bounce was in January 2009, and the last time they suffered five score-less matches was September 2008.
The Reds have lost 10 league matches in 2012- more than any other Championship club.
Barnsley need one more win to level the head to head meetings with Peterborough and they have won four of the last five meetings including each of the last five at London Road.
Despite that, a win for Barnsley tomorrow would give them their first double over the Posh since the 2004-2005 season.
