Peterborough will be desperate to rediscover their winning touch when they welcome Barnsley in the EFL Cup last 32. The Posh are without a victory in four League One matches and have won just 30% of their last 10 games overall. Their home record is even less convincing, with only a 20% win rate and 0.80 goals scored per game. Tom O’Connor, Sam Hughes, Rio Adebisi and Carl Johnston remain sidelined.
Barnsley head into the match looking for a response after back-to-back heavy defeats, losing 5-1 to Stevenage before a 3-0 reverse against Plymouth. Connell, Richards and Toure could be handed starts after appearing from the bench last time out. The Tykes have won 50% of their away matches in this sample and concede just 1.00 goal per game on the road. Barnsley have also won 11 of the 23 previous meetings between these sides.
Given Barnsley's fine away form and Peterborough's winless run, our main betting tip leans toward Away Win, alongside Barnsley or Draw and Over 1.5 goals (this has landed in 78% of their H2H meetings).
This EFL Cup match will be played on Tuesday 15 September 2026 at 19:30.
