Peterborough United Preview – Will Posh bounce back with all three points?
Darren Ferguson’s Peterborough United have spent pretty much all season in and around the top two, but Posh have hit a rough patch at form at just the wrong time. The club from London Road have taken just five points from a possible 18 in recent weeks.
Tuesday’s 3-1 defeat at Bloomfield Road was Peterborough’s third loss in five. Before their poor patch of form, United had secured six successive League One victories.
Peterborough remain in second spot with an impressive 66 points to their name. Hull City lead the way on 69 points, while Sunderland are third with 64. Can Ferguson’s boys dust themselves down and pick up a precious three points on home turf this Saturday?
Accrington Stanley Preview – Can Stanley return to Lancashire with a positive result?
John Coleman’s competitive Accrington Stanley find themselves in 12th position with 35 games played. With things incredibly congested in England’s third tier, Accrington are only three points behind Blackpool, who are holding on to the final play-off place at present.
After consecutive losses to Bristol Rovers, MK Dons and Sunderland, Stanley sealed a much-needed win over Wigan Athletic last time out. Despite going a goal down in the first minute at the Wham Stadium, the Lancashire outfit turned the game on its head to win 3-1.
