Peterborough United Preview – Can Posh stop Fulham in their tracks?
Darren Ferguson’s Peterborough United have found Championship life tough going so far. Posh hover just four points above the bottom three after four wins, three draws and nine defeats. Only Cardiff City and Hull City have lost more.
United have shown an improvement of late, though, with half of their Championship wins this season coming in their last four games. In October, Peterborough picked up back-to-back 2-1 victories over Hull and Queens Park Rangers. They also held Huddersfield Town to a 1-1 draw in midweek.
Saturday’s home match against the title favourites will be one of Peterborough’s toughest challenges of the season. The hosts are the big underdogs, with the bookies offering 11/2 for a home win.

Fulham put on an incredible show at Blackburn Rovers in midweek, leaving Ewood Park with a stunning 7-0 victory. There were doubles for Neeskens Kebano, Harry Wilson and Rodrigo Muniz, while Aleksandar Mitrovic scored his 19th Championship goal of the campaign.
