League One
In the previous six h2h games in the past three years, both teams secured two games each, and two times were draws. When it comes to the number of goals, we saw four games finishing with three or more goals, while both teams scored in five out of six games (83%).
And at Weston Homes Stadium, Barnsley were a much more successful team, securing three wins and two draws in the past five h2h games.
Peterborough team overview
Peterborough came to this season after a terrible one last year, when they finished 18th with 51 points in 46 rounds, nowhere near the Playoffs. They secured the playoffs two seasons in a row before the last one, but were nowhere near doing so the previous year.
However, if we say that the last season was a disaster, what can we say about the start of this season? The Posh opened the season with four losses (three in the league and one in the EFL Cup). To be fair, they aren't playing as poorly as the results represent, but something is simply off, and the Posh are desperate to win some points.

Barnsley team overview
Barnsley also had a poor last season. Just like their opponent, Barnsley also secured the Playoffs in 2022/23 and 2023/24 but failed to do so last season. Yet, they were still a lot better than Peterborough, winning ten points more.
This year, the Reds started the season great! They won seven points in the first three rounds and are tied for second place in League One. Besides a good start in the league, Barnsley also won the 1/64 Finals in the EFL Cup and opened the season well in the cup competitions as well.
For this match against Peterborough, the team will be without midfielder Vimal Yoganathan, as the young midfielder received a red card in the previous match and will be suspended. The 19-year-old started in all three league games thus far.

Prediction
Barnsley opened the season with four losses in four matches while conceding two or more goals every time. The Posh had one or two games where they could secure at least a draw, but it didn't happen. Right now, they are in terrible momentum, and we do not trust them against anyone.
On the other hand, Barnsley opened the season well with three wins (one in the ELF Cup after penalties) and one draw. But even that draw (1:1 vs Bolton) could have easily been a win if it weren't for Yoganathan's red card in the 57th minute. Up to that moment, the Reds had a 1:0 lead and were a better team overall. So, just with a little luck, we could speak about a four-game winning streak.
In the previous h2h games at Weston Homes Stadium, Barnsley were a lot better, winning three times while two times were draws. Considering the trend in the last h2h games at Peterborough's pitch and the difference in form, we believe Barnsley are a lot closer to winning the upcoming tie.
3 Reasons why Barnsley should (AH 0) win
- Peterborough lost all four games this season
- Barnsley are unbeaten in four matches this season
- Barnsley haven't lost in the last five h2h games at Weston Homes Stadium
