Prediction: 2-1
Peterborough
Sheffield Wednesday will look to make a miracle at Hillsborough when they take on Peterborough in the League One playoffs semis, return leg. The Owls were hammered by the Posh (0-4) at Weston Homes Stadium and, as a result, they face an uphill task in the reverse fixture. Lee Gregory is pushing for a start after overcoming his injury as well as Reece James. Darren Moore is likely to stick to the 3-5-2 formation.
The visitors, on the other hand, are likely to adopt a defence-minded approach in the return leg, but preventing Sheffield Wednesday from scoring at Hillsborough is easier said than done. Home win should be considered even though Peterborough are with one foot in the League One playoffs final. With no fresh injury worries to report, Darren Ferguson is unlikely to make changes to the team that rolled over the Owls on Friday.
Highlighted Player (Reece James):
Reece James is a talented Chelsea defender who plays for Wigan Athletic on loan. Born in Redbridge, England on December 8, 1999, James started his youth career at Chelsea football academy at the age of 6. The talented teenager played for England U18 and U19 teams and he currently represents the U20 team on the international stage.
Reece James scored 3 goals in 45 appearances for Wigan in the 2018/2019 Championship campaign, but that did not help the Latics avoid relegation to the League One. His numbers from the 2018/2019 season are impressive as he completed 91 successful tackles, 54 blocks, 44 successful dribbles and 93 clearances.
James, on the other hand, has yet to find the net for the England U20 national team. His main position is right back, but he is capable of playing as both centre-back and defensive midfielder as well. Reece James turned professional in March 2017.
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.
