TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Barnsley are playing strangely at the moment with a bad run of results surrounding an amazing 5-0 away with at Birmingham.
In the last game they were poor for the majority of the game and were lucky to get away with a point against a poor Ipswich side. The team sit comfortably in mid table but the side is a lower half side for sure and will finish in the lower reaches this season.
Peterborough finally got off the mark with a brilliant 3-1 away win at strongly fancies Hull. Ferguson's men outplayed the hosts and Emile Sinclair ended his drought with a fine hat trick.The strong Hull side were undone by the precision passing game and the strength and pace of Sinclair. Peterborough halted a run of seven consecutive losses here but must really now kick on if they really want to escape the relegation zone.

ASIAN HANDICAP PREDICTION

Peterborough +0.5 is the pick here (1.87 188bet) Posh signalled their intent with a great away win at Hull, to open their league account. Barnsley have been picking up the odd result and their 5-0 win over Birmingham obviously sticks out but they then follow it up with an abject display and sneak a 1-1 late on against a poor Ipswich side. Peterborough were putting in the performances they just were not getting any luck.

TOTAL GOALS PREDICTION

Over 2.50 1.67 (Betfair) is the bet here. A bit obvious in Peterborough games but the sheer goals per game for both teams means this is a very good price. 14 games involving the teams playing today have gone over 2.50 goals so its for sure the value bet here. With two poor defences the overs line should collect here. Early moves already too reinforce the bet.
