What to expect

We expect about 1.9 goals from Peterboro and 1.6 from Barnsley, so Peterboro come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 3.5 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.

Barnsley come into this on three straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Not both teams to score. There should be goals here — around 3.5 between the two (xG 1.9-1.6) — but they look like coming from one end. A clean sheet for one side is well on the cards.

We put the chance of that landing at about 56 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.98, which works out at about 51 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.

Bournemouth are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 2.0-1.0), and we make them about 70% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
