Peterborough poised to profit from Posh
Recent form
Bromley's confidence will have taken a knock in the last week or so, with a 4-0 EFL Trophy loss at Crawley Town followed by a 2-1 League One defeat at Mansfield Town and a 1-0 loss at Stockport County. But this team just hasn't hit the right rhythm and sits 22nd in League One after eight games with eight points, meaning their relegation battle is already on.
Tactics and players
The latter two results will be of the most concern to Andy Woodman, who has drilled his team into a compact and transition-heavy shape that should, in theory, allow the home team to have enough cover to punish opponents in transition. Bromley do have the structure of a team built to hurt their opponents from set pieces and counter-attack when they play from their back three or a tight 4-1-4-1. Victor Adeboyejo is their top League One scorer with four goals in seven games, and they will look to him to be their main penalty-box threat.
Posh playing with a little more edge
Peterborough United are three places above the hosts in 19th spot with nine points from 10 games, meaning they are also under the cosh. But there is an air of positivity about the visitors right now, with Robbie Savage having added a little more bite and fluency to Peterborough United in a short time.
- They have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five matches, with a 4-1 EFL Trophy win over Ipswich Town U21, a 3-1 away victory over Leicester City in the league and a 2-2 draw with Burton Albion.
- Ben Woods is their League One top scorer with two goals in seven appearances, but Harry Leonard has provided a jolt in the arm with three goals in his last five outings for the club.
- Peterborough United could be the likelier winner of this match, but the odds are a bit too close for our liking, so we'll go with a Peterborough United result and under 3.5 goals to fit the script of a scrappy away day, rather than a landslide.
