Our prediction for this League 1 match:
St James Park will host Saturday’s football game between Exeter City and Peterborough, the two mid-table sides. Exeter kicked off the new League One campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Rotherham United, but Northampton proved to be a big catch for the Grecians on Matchday 2. The good news for the hosts is that Pierce Sweeney has overcome the injury he suffered in the EFL Cup clash with Walsall.
The Posh, meanwhile, aim to build on a thrilling 4-1 win over Shrewsbury. Peterborough are eager to climb to the playoffs berth and given Exeter’s anything but fine performance in the loss at Northampton, away win should definitely be considered. In their last meeting in the English third tier Peterborough defeated Exeter 2-1. Jack Sparkes is a major doubt and the 23-year-old midfielder will be assessed ahead of the kick-off, speaking of the away team.
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.
