Peterborough v Oxford Utd

Peterborough vs Oxford Preview

Peterborough United find themselves chasing this 2nd leg tie against Oxford United following the 1-0 defeat away from home at the Kassam Stadium on Saturday night but although The Posh now return to the more familiar surroundings of their Weston Homes Stadium for Wednesday night's return leg, recent results have seen a decline in form for Darren Ferguson's side, while Oxford United know they are just 90 minutes away from making the Play-Off final at Wembley Stadium.

Peterborough United have now slipped to two defeats within their last three games overall in the English third tier which consists of losses against Cheltenham Town and Oxford United and along with a 3-3 draw at home with Bolton Wanderers, the hosts have failed to win any of their last three games.

Following a previously impressive five-match winning streak earlier in the season from towards the end of February through to mid-March, Peterborough United have since produced some inconsistent results in League One which includes picking up just four wins out of their subsequent 10 games overall.

However, victories over the likes of Leyton Orient, Port Vale, Fleetwood Town and Bristol Rovers have been offset by five defeats within this period which includes previous losses on home soil to Portsmouth and Carlisle United.

Oxford United's encouraging run of form in the season run-in in League One continued on the weekend with a 1-0 home win against Peterborough United and The U's will be confident that they can continue this vein of form into this 2nd leg tie at the Weston Homes Stadium having suffered just the single defeat in their last nine games overall.

That singular defeat came in the form of a 1-0 loss at home to Lincoln City but the visitors have also collected six wins within this recent impressive period of results which include victories on their travels at the likes of Port Vale, Burton Albion and Exeter City respectively and will likely stand Des Buckingham's side in good stead for this return leg on Wednesday night.

The bigger picture shows Oxford United have been handed just four defeats out of their last 19 matches overall in League One, while away from home, Oxford United seem to have hit form at just about the right time as The U's have won three of their last four outings on the road.

Peterborough United v Oxford United Verdict

The 1st leg tie on Saturday night was a tense and low-scoring affair and the intensity can only increase in this 2nd leg as the prospect of a potential play-off final at Wembley Stadium looms ever closer; another low-scoring game could therefore unfold here on Wednesday night.

Therefore, our main bet will be Under 2.5 goals @ 2.05
