Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Sparkles will be flying when Peterborough and Stevenage lock horns in the League One round 38. The Posh are eyeing their fifth consecutive league win and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-oriented approach on Wednesday evening. Ricky-Jade Jones limped off with injury in a 3-1 win over Burton, with Jonson Clarke-Harris likely to replace him in the starting XI.
The Boro, on the other hand, are eyeing their fifth consecutive cleans sheet in the League One. Stevenage are eager to stay in the playoffs berth, but given Peterborough’s excellent form in early March, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the midweek clash. To make things even worse for the away team, important defender Finley Burns sustained an injury in a goalless draw with Fleetwood. Nick Freeman is widely expected to replace him in the starting XI.
Highlighted Player (Jake Taylor):
Jake Taylor is a product of the Reading football academy who plays for Exeter City in the League Two. Taylor spent his youth career at Reading, and he continued wearing the blue and white shirt at senior level.
After scoring two goals in 31 appearances with the Royals in the league, the English footballer spent several seasons on loan at the likes of Aldershot Town, Exeter City, Cheltenham Town, Crawley Town, Leyton Orient, and Motherwell. In 2016 Jake Taylor returned to Exeter City, signing a permanent deal with the St James Park outfit.
Despite being born in Ascot, England, on December 1, 1991, Taylor represents Wales on the international stage. He has ten caps with the Wales U21 team, and he made his debut with the Dragons at the senior level in a 2-1 win over Cyprus on October 13, 2014. His primary position is central midfielder.
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.
