A draw that will do neither side much good
A point won't be much help to either of these sides in the run in but that is how we see it ending. The reason behind that thinking is both statistical and emotional. From the emotional standpoint both will have a real fear of losing, which could see the game played with the handbrakes on. As for the stats, Barnsley have drawn three of their last four home games with Peterborough seeing two of their last three away games end all square. You can throw the head to head record into the equation as well; the reverse fixture from late November ended 0-0.
Both teams to score
These two may well have drawn 0-0 when they last met but this time round we fancy them both to find the back of the net. Barnsley have scored in four of their last five games keeping no clean sheet in the last four. Peterborough meanwhile haven't kept a clean sheet in any of their last five matches and have only failed to score in one match in that period.

Barnsley vs Peterborough: Let's look at the predicted lineups
We're not sure if you can truly call this a relegation six pointer when there is a large chance that both teams suffer the drop regardless. What you can say though, is that whatever team loses this game – if any – will be all but doomed. No pressure, lads.
Barnsley Predicted Lineup
Barnsley are 10 points from safety with 15 points left to play for, which includes a game in hand. Even with that extra game, they are seriously running out of time. This match is a great opportunity to bag three points and the mood around Oakwell should be good with the Tykes unbeaten at home in six games. Can they find a way to win?
Predicted lineup – Walton, Vita, Kitching, Andersen, Brittain, Wolfe, Palmer, Gomes, Bassi, Quina, Morris
Peterborough Predicted Lineup
Peterborough must be looking at Jonson Clarke-Harris right now wondering ‘what if'. He bagged 31 goals in League One last year but struggled to adapt to the second tier initially. Now though, he has found form and has been instrumental to their pick up of form. Even with that the Posh are nine points off safety with 12 to play for. Anything but a win is basically curtains.
Predicted lineup – Cornell, Knight, Edwards, Kent, Burrows, Szmodics, Taylor, Fuchs, Poku, Clarke-Harris, Jones
