Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Broadhall Way will be the centre of attention when Stevenage and Peterborough square off against each other in the League One derby. Stevenage have been producing splendid displays of late, with the team eyeing their fifth consecutive league win, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Barring any fresh injury worries, boss Steve Evans is unlikely to make changes to the team that outclassed Fleetwood 3-0 at the weekend.
Meanwhile, the Posh rolled over Burton 4-0 in their last league match and given their attacking potential, we predict that both teams are going to find the net in the midweek fixture. Darren Ferguson has no fresh injury worries and he is likely to stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation. When the two teams met in the EFL Trophy last year Stevenage defeated Peterborough 2-1, which is yet another reason why both teams to score betting option should be considered.
Highlighted Player (Jonson Clarke Harris):
The Leicester born striker started his career at Coventry City, joining their youth academy at the age of 15. Harris, who holds both the English and Jamaican citizenship, chose to represent the former but is yet to feature for any of England's international levels. He made his first professional debut on the 10th of August 2010, in a 2-0 League Cup loss to Morecambe, a feature that made him the youngest player to ever appear for Coventry.
After successive loan moves where he made little impact, Harris left the Sky Blues to join Oldham Athletic in May 2013 on a year-long contract. His excellence earned him the Young Player of the Season award and a high profile move to Rotherham United at the end of the season in a deal worth 350,000 euros. After several inconsistent performances, Harris left the Millers.
He then went on to play for MK Dons and Doncaster on loan before re-joining Coventry for a second spell where-in he helped the club in promoting to League One. Born on the 21st of July 1994, the 25-year-old is known for his physicality and hold-up play and currently plies his trade for Bristol, whom he joined at the start of 2019.
Highlighted Team (Stevenage):
Based in Hertfordshire, England, Stevenage Borough are a professional club that compete in the League Two. The Boro are well known for their red and white home hit, while dark blue is the dominant colour of their away kit. Stevenage play their home games at Broadhall Way, the stadium which can hold up to 6,722 spectators and they were founded in 1976.
The Boro have won FA Trophy on two occasions (2006/07, 2008/09), with the team clinching the Herts Senior Cup title in the 2008/09 season thanks to a 2-1 win over Cheshunt. Luton are considered one of the club’s biggest rivals and there have always been fireworks in matches between the two sides.
In 2015 fighting broke out between rival fans near to the end of the clash at the Lamex. It has to be noted that Stevenage Borough were founded in 1976 after the bankruptcy of Stevenage Athletic.
