- Real Bedford FC are slight favourites for this one (123/100), but the draw (13/5) has also been over-looked.
- The Posh (159/100) have won 0, drawn 2 and lost 3 of their last 5 in all competitions.
Real Bedford the real deal?
Real Bedford FC have started the 2026/2027 Southern League Premier Division Central season in top spot with 3 points from 1 match, whereas Peterborough Sports are in tenth with 1 point from 1 game.
The hosts drew their second successive match 1-1 at Racing Club Warwick yesterday, while the visitors bounced back to form following an extra-time defeat away at Spalding Utd with a 4-2 home win against Leamington FC.
Real Bedford are the likelier winner in this one, but the odds don't reflect how tough a game they will get against the Posh on Tuesday night.
The price is set for a real away day win and the visitors will have to be at their best to get the 3 points at Lincoln Road, England. Rob Sinclair has stamped his authority on this club and they have a clear identity when in possession and pressing as a unit.
Real Bedford will be the away team in this contest
They can pin opponents back and create overloads by being patient and organised. However, the Posh have a lot of players who are good in these transitions and will look to nick transitions. Luke Steele has been the club's coach since 8th February 2023 and he has set up his side to be very compact and pragmatic, with quick vertical breaks and an effective set-piece threat. They are still waiting to get off the mark on home soil (D0 L1) this season but have drawn their last 2 games. Max Booth has been their main outlet and has been a target for defenders this term, but with 2 goals from the 4 that they have scored across their 5 most recent matches, he has carried their attacking line alone. Real Bedford will try to keep the hosts back and we think this game could be tight, but it's very likely to be a lively one, so we're backing Over 2.5 goals at 13/20 and Both Teams to Score - YES at 53/100.
