Reading to secure potentially vital win over Peterborough
Peterborough vs Reading - 16/02/2022
5906
On Wednesday night, two of the Championships strugglers go head-to-head at the Weston Homes Stadium, in a game that could be pivotal in the fight for survival in the second tier this season.
Peterborough currently occupy the final relegation berth and are desperate for points after a poor run of form of late.
However, Darren Ferguson’s team are just two points from safety and a win in this clash would be massive, as Wednesday night’s opponents are the team directly above them in the standings.
The Posh’s recent league form does not suggest that a home win is on its way though, as they head into this game on the back of a seven-game winless run in the league, having suffered six defeats in the process.
A 1-0 home loss against Preston last time out means that they have suffered three straight defeats in the Championship.
The reverse against North End was also their third consecutive home defeat in the English second tier.
This game might be massive for Peterborough, but it is just as big for the visitors, who need the points to break clear of the drop zone.
However, the Royal’s form has been even worse than the home sides of late in the league, as they are winless in ten outings in the Championship, having suffered eight defeats in the process.
A 3-2 home defeat against Coventry last time out in the league was their seventh straight league defeat. One factor in that woeful recent run is the visitor’s poor defensive record, as they have conceded at least two goals in their last eight Championship matches.
Unsurprisingly, considering their recent league record in general, Reading have a poor away record, as the visitors have suffered four straight away defeats in the Championship.
Forebet predicts that Reading will end their recent poor form by recording a potentially massive win in a high-scoring clash to move five points clear of Peterborough in the fight for survival.
