Peterborough United Preview – Can Posh secure a much-needed win?
Peterborough United won promotion to the Championship after finishing runners-up to Hull City at the end of the 2020-21 EFL League One campaign. However, they are in danger of suffering an instant return to the third tier after taking a mere 20 points from their opening 27 fixtures.
In the third round of the FA Cup, Darren Ferguson’s side edged past Bristol Rovers on home soil. Bali Mumba hit a second-half winner in the narrow 2-1 victory. Since then, however, United have lost three and drawn one of four in the Championship.
This will be a nice break from league action, but Peterborough could do with a win to lift the spirits at the Weston Homes Stadium. The home side are priced at 11/4.
Queens Park Rangers Preview – Will QPR continue fine form?
Queens Park Rangers are having a fine season under Mark Warburton. The London side are sitting pretty in fourth position right now, collecting an impressive 51 points from 28 league games. The Hoops are only seven points behind leaders Fulham.
QPR head to Peterborough having picked up six wins and a draw from their last seven. Rangers have suffered only two losses since October. In the previous round of the FA Cup, Warburton’s boys needed penalties to see off League One high-flyers Rotherham United at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium.
