Best Tip: Both teams to score

Both Barnsley and Peterborough supporters should have some reason to cheer as their clubs go head-to-head, with KickOff's prediction of both teams to score looking a much better pick than any bet on the full time result market. The two sides have goals in them, as is borne out by the stats and past head-to-head data below. Even the bookmakers odds are not finding real separation between the sides, as striking power and defensive options suggest each team is capable of both scoring and conceding. Both teams to score is the tip of the day here.
