Prediction: 2-2
Peterborough
Cheltenham Town and Peterborough United face each other at Whaddon Road in a postponed League One fixture. The Robins are five points behind the safe zone, meaning that this has to go down as a must-win game for the home side. All Lewi Freestone, Tom Pett, George Lloyd, Aidan Keena, and Rob Street are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Posh, on the other hand, have won four of their last five league matches, but, as things stand now, they will find it hard to secure automatic promotion. The hope, though, dies last and we are positive that the visitors will go all guns blazing at Cheltenham. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. As for the visiting team, both Michael Olakigbe and Jeando Fuchs are sidelined with injuries, while Kwame Poku faces race against clock to be fit for the midweek clash.
