Peterborough v Sheffield Wednesday Odds Goals on the cards in relegation clash

It can be argued that every single match is crucial at this pivotal late stage in the season, however, there won't be many more important relegation clashes than Peterborough (21st) verses Sheffield Wednesday (18th). The Championship relegation-rivals lock horns at London Road on Saturday evening live on Sky Sports in what promises to be an engaging encounter between two sides that are desperate to preserve their second-tier status.Peterborough are currently hovering dangerously above the drop zone, with just goal difference separating them from Wolves (22nd) and Barnsley (23rd), meaning they could find themselves in the drop zone by the time the game gets underway.Meanwhile Sheff Wed are four points clear of the bottom three, so if they can come away with the win they will be assured of Championship football next season. A point could also be enough for survival but only if both Wolves and Barnsley lose earlier in the day. However, a defeat would drag them right into the mix and set up a nervy final day clash at home to Middlesbrough.Peterborough’s recent good form makes them the hot 6/5 favourites with Paddy Power for the win. The Posh recently went on a staggering 10 game unbeaten run, although that came to an end last weekend at Derby. Meanwhile Wednesday, who are without a win in three games, can be backed at 21/10 to record a vital victory which keeps them in the league. Alternatively a draw is priced at 12/5.The most recent three meetings between the sides have produced a whopping 16 goals at an average of 5.3 a game. The last clash at London Road contained eight goals, with Posh coming out 5-2 winners. Considering that Darren Ferguson’s men have conceded a whopping 39 goals at home this season we can expect a few more goals on Saturday, with over 3.5 goals available at 2/1. Furthermore both teams have scored in the last seven encounters, and that can be extended to eight in a row at a price of 8/13.Posh have fared well at home of late and they head into the match unbeaten at London Road in five matches. Their last five home wins have all been by a single goal and they can be backed at 11/10 to win by that margin yet again, while a 3-1 scoreline could be worth a punt at 16/1. Read More
