Peterborough v Leeds

Peterborough vs Leeds Preview

Peterborough United staged a memorable and impressive comeback against Derby County as The Posh came from 2-1 down to The Rams to collect all three points with a 3-2 win away from home at Pride Park, while Leeds United bounced back from two losses on the trot with a resounding 3-0 home win against a beleaguered Birmingham City at Elland Road.

That morale-boosting win against Derby County on New Years Day will certainly give Peterborough United a welcome lift ahead of this upcoming FA Cup third round tie against Championship high-flyers, Leeds United, along with the fact that Peterborough are now unbeaten in their last 10 matches in all competitions.

Within this unbeaten run, Peterborough have registered seven wins in the process with four of these seven wins being achieved on home soil at their London Road ground by way of victories over Burton Albion, Doncaster Rovers, Arsenal U21 and Oxford United, while the bigger picture shows The Posh are unbeaten in each of their last 15 home games at London Road.

In addition, the hosts have scored two goals or more in 14 of these 15 home games so the Leeds United defence are likely to come under some pressure here on Sunday afternoon.

Leeds United returned to winning ways in the Championship on New Years Day when they recorded a comprehensive 3-0 victory over a downtrodden Birmingham City outfit who shortly afterwards announced the sacking of manager, Wayne Rooney, while Leeds United will be looking to build upon this win when they make their way to London Road for this FA Cup third round tie.

The Yorkshire club have been handed just three defeats out of their last 13 matches overall which have all been dealt out on their travels and includes losses at Sunderland, Preston NE and West Brom, but the visitors have also registered eight wins within this period as well, so Daniel Farke's side will also fancy their chances of a cup win here on Sunday.

Despite losing their last three away games on the trot, Leeds United still possess considerable threat up front and in front of goal and having collected wins on the road away at the likes of Millwall, Norwich City, Leicester City and Blackburn Rovers so far in this season's Championship campaign, Leeds may well prove to be a real handful for Peterborough United on Sunday afternoon.

Peterborough United v Leeds United Verdict

Although Peterborough United got the better of Leeds United in their previous meeting in a club friendly some seven years ago, a lot has changed across the footballing landscape since then and Leeds United perhaps look the more likely to progress here as the visitors have won four of the last six encounters.

Therefore, our main bet will be Leeds Utd win @ 1.50
