Countdown to Kick-Off: Barnsley defensive dilemma hands Posh advantage

Peterborough v Barnsley Sky Bet League One

Barnsley travel to Peterborough with just one win in their last four league games and a key defensive absentee could hamper their chances of a win.

Daniel Pinillos is out for the visitors, who are also missing fellow left-back Zeki Fryers, and the Posh could cause them problems down the flank. The hosts, having won seven of their last 11 games, look strong with Marcus Maddison back in the side.

Recommendation
Peterborough
1pt 23-20 general

West Brom v Reading Sky Bet Championship

Darren Moore's West Brom have started the season in promising fashion, with just two defeats in 11 games, and they can overturn a Reading side short of attacking options.

Jon Dadi Bodvarsson, top scorer for the Royals with seven league goals, has not travelled to the Hawthorns, where Reading will also be without striker Sam Baldock.

Recommendation
West Brom to win to nil
2pts 7-4 Sky Bet

Oldham v Carlisle Sky Bet League Two

Oldham will be relieved to see key striker Sam Surridge return from a hip injury for their match with Carlisle. The on-loan forward has six league goals this season and, in his two-game absence, the club failed to find the net.

Carlisle have suffered back-to-back 1-0 losses against Grimsby and Stevenage and are dealing with multiple absences, with Jamie Devitt, Richie Bennett and Luke O'Reilly all missing the trip to Boundary Park.

Recommendation
Oldham
2pts 21-20 Boylesports
