Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Peterborough will look to extend their winning run in all competitions to four games when they face Reading at their Weston Homes Stadium. The Posh have been scoring goals for fun of late and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Reading. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Ghana winger Kwame Poku, who scored a hat-trick in the 6-1 crushing of Cambridge United before the international break.
The Royals, on the other hand, continue with their old habit of struggling on the travels and given Peterborough’s fine form, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. Speaking of the away team, Amadou Salif Mbengue should be fit for Saturday’s clash despite limping off with injury in the EFL Trophy triumph over Newport County. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting 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.
