An intriguing clash of styles in this game
There is a real clash of philosophy between Peterborough United and Sheffield Wednesday, with Luke Williams' Posh a much more forward-thinking team, using their press and pace to play on the front foot. Henrik Pedersen's Owls are more of a pragmatic team, sitting back, keeping a compact shape and trying to counter attack.
With Peterborough's more positive approach, Wednesday appear to have an edge on the odds at 11/10 compared to The Posh at 21/10, although the draw also holds plenty of appeal at 27/10. The hosts will like their chances of at least avoiding defeat, as they did the last time Wednesday visited London Road, despite each side recording 3 wins and 2 defeats in their last 5 games.
Posh's momentum was certainly knocked by a 4-0 league defeat at Blackpool, which came right after a 5-1 EFL Cup win at Watford. Similarly, Wednesday will arrive off the back of an away win after a 7-2 league thrashing of Bromley, following two straight home losses. The Owls have the more reliable and experienced goalscoring threat in Jamal Lowe, who is also Wednesday's top scorer with 3 goals in 3 games, but Posh have the most lethal in the form of Harry Leonard, who has scored 4 of his side's 7 goals across their last 5 competitive games.
Owls more likely, but Peterborough can be involved
The clash of identities and recent form will make this an intriguing chess match between Peterborough's press and Wednesday's counter-punching structure. The hosts will be happy to push the pace and try to make the game a battle of transitions, but Wednesday will look to hold firm and pounce.
Wednesday probably have the greater chance of winning at the current odds, but we can't ignore the home advantage in Peterborough's favour or the fact that Wednesday have conceded 7 goals in their last league game. So we're taking over 2.5 goals at 57/100 and both teams to score at 12/25 to keep this one live.
