Our prediction for this EFL Cup match:
There will be fireworks when Stevenage and Peterborough go head to head at Broadhall Way in the EFL Cup last 64. The Boro aim to build on back-to-back wins over Rochdale and Carlisle, and it is no surprise the odds for home win have been dropping. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, with Saxon Earley returning to the starting XI. The Posh, on the other hand, head into Tuesday’s clash following back-to-back wins over Sheffield Wednesday and Lincoln.
Peterborough, though, are not regarded as good travellers, which is probably the main reason why we are going to put our money on draw. In their last meeting at the venue the two teams shared the spoils, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself. Ryan Broom remains on the sidelines with injury.
Highlighted Player (Jake Taylor):
Jake Taylor is a product of the Reading football academy who plays for Exeter City in the League Two. Taylor spent his youth career at Reading, and he continued wearing the blue and white shirt at senior level.
After scoring two goals in 31 appearances with the Royals in the league, the English footballer spent several seasons on loan at the likes of Aldershot Town, Exeter City, Cheltenham Town, Crawley Town, Leyton Orient, and Motherwell. In 2016 Jake Taylor returned to Exeter City, signing a permanent deal with the St James Park outfit.
Despite being born in Ascot, England, on December 1, 1991, Taylor represents Wales on the international stage. He has ten caps with the Wales U21 team, and he made his debut with the Dragons at the senior level in a 2-1 win over Cyprus on October 13, 2014. His primary position is central midfielder.
Highlighted Team (Peterborough):
Founded in 1934, Peterborough United are a professional club that competes in the League One. The Posh play their home games at London Road Stadium, the venue with the capacity of 15,314. Peterborough’s home colour is blue, whilst the colour of their away kit is blue. The Posh have the third kit as well where yellow and black are the dominant colours.
Peterborough United’s biggest success came in the 1964/1965 when the club booked their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals. Chelsea, though, proved to be a big catch for the Posh, beating them 5-1 in London. It has to be noted that Peterborough United made it to the Football League Cup semis in the 1965/1966 season, with the team losing to WBA in the two-legged tie.
The likes of Cambridge United and Northampton Town are considered the club’s main rivals. The Posh have built a rivalry with Huddersfield Town, with fans seeing MK Dons as rivals as well.
