Barnsley have struggled this season and look like they are going to get relegated
Barnsley host Peterborough at Oakwell Stadium in the EFL Championship on Monday, with both sides having disappointing seasons so far.
Barnsley are bottom of the table, one point off their opponents and 10 points away from safety. Poya Asbaghi’s side have been in poor form of late, having only won one of their last eight games. They will hope to turn things around with a win against Peterborough on Monday.
Peterborough are currently 23rd in the league, tied on points with Derby County in 22nd. Grant McCann’s side have been in decent form recently, having lost only one of their last five games. They will hope to take that momentum into the game against Barnsley on Monday.
Both sides need a win to have a chance of avoiding relegation and that should make for a highly-contested matchup.
