Peterborough will be desperate to get back on course when they take on Sheffield Wednesday in League One round five after a frustrating start to the campaign. The Posh were held to a goalless draw by Stevenage last time out and failed to register a single shot on target, while Owura Edwards picked up a knock. Their home numbers are concerning too, with Peterborough winning just 20% of their last 10 matches at home and failing to score in 60%.
Sheffield Wednesday, meanwhile, are enjoying a strong spell under Henrik Pedersen after beating Bromley 7-2 and Wycombe 2-1 in their last two league outings. Jamal Lowe has been central to their impressive attacking form, with the top scorer already contributing four goals. Louie Barry is ruled out through injury, but the Owls have won 40% of their last 10 away matches despite conceding two goals per game.
The Owls are in better form and Peterborough have won only 20% of their last 10 at home. However, we are tempted to place our best on draw due to Louie Barry's injury. Additionally, BTTS and Sheffield Wednesday or Draw bets seem appealing.
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 5 September 2026 at 12:30.
