Peterborough vs Leeds Prediction 07.01.2024

• Competition: FA Cup
• Date: 07.01.2024
• Kickoff: 14:00 UK / 15:00 CET
• Venue: Weston Homes Stadium (Peterborough)

Peterborough is competing in League One for the second consecutive year and stands a good chance of returning to the Championship, a competition they were part of until a few years ago. Currently, they’re in 3rd place, which puts them in the Playoff zone. They’re only 2 points behind Bolton, who are in 2nd place and have the advantage of direct placement into the Championship. Peterborough will also be participating in the round of 32 in the cup, having secured their place after a 2-1 victory over Doncaster. They’ll be up against a team that previously played in the Premier League, but the home team definitely has a fighting chance.

Leeds managed to regain momentum with a victory over Birmingham, following two consecutive losses and a dwindling pursuit against Ipswich and Leicester. Much like their opponent in this match, they too hold positions that could potentially lead to a playoff for higher ranking. Leeds possesses the caliber to make a swift comeback to the Premier League, but they face competition from several other clubs of comparable quality. Leicester, meanwhile, has distanced itself in the table. This season, cup matches could provide Leeds with a significant incentive.

Peterborough vs Leeds pick: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

The home team has managed to avoid defeat in their last nine matches, a commendable feat despite being one rank below their rivals. Leeds, on the other hand, have suffered losses in their last three away games against WBA, Preston, and Sunderland, only managing to score a single goal in over 270 minutes of play. Peterborough, known for their fighting spirit and efficiency on home ground, are expected to put up a valiant fight against a well-known rival. Given that they’ve scored at least one goal in their last 20 home matches, it’s likely they’ll maintain this streak. Considering these factors, betting on both teams to score seems like a fantastic option for this match.
