Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Peterborough United play host to Burton Albion at their Weston Homes Stadium on day 18 of the new League One campaign. The Posh defeated Notts County 4-3 in the FA Cup round 2 and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. You should bear in mind that Peterborough have netted 20 goals in total in the previous five home games in all competitions. Both Sam Curtis and Abraham Odoh are pushing for recalls to the starting XI, with duo James Dornelly – Jack Sparkes likely to drop to the bench.
The Brewers, on the other hand, suffered yet another dip in form, with the team losing to both Stockport County and Charlton in the League One, while suffering elimination to Tamworth in the FA Cup round 2. As Charlie Webster misses out through suspension, we predict that the promotion-chasing hosts are going to pick up all three points from Wednesday’s encounter.
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.
