Preview: Barnsley vs. Peterborough United

Barnsley vs. Peterborough United

Peterborough United travel to Barnsley on Tuesday looking for just their second league victory of the Championship campaign.

Barnsley have collected eight points from 11 games this season to occupy 13th spot in the table, but they enter the match full of confidence having lost just one of their last six matches at home.

Peterborough secured their first league win of the campaign against Hull City at the weekend, but they have won just one of their last six on the road.

Darren Ferguson's side have also not beaten Barnsley since 2004, losing five of their last six encounters against the Tykes.

Both sides enter the match with no fresh injury concerns, although Barnsley could hand a start to Marlon Harewood in attack. Meanwhile, Emile Sinclair is expected to start following his three goals for Peterborough on Saturday.

Recent form:

Barnsley: WDLWD Peterborough: LLLLW

Possible lineups:

Barnsley: Alnwick; Kennedy, Foster, Wiseman, Golbourne; Dawson, Cranie, Cywka, Mellis; Davies, Harewood

Peterborough: Olejnik; Little, Rowe, Zakuani, Alcock; Brisley, Bostwick, Ferdinand, Barnett; Boyd, Sinclair

Sports Mole says: 2-2
