Peterborough United form and stats

The hosts won their first League One game here at Weston Homes Stadium, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Peterborough United last season were 6 wins, 7 draws and 10 losses from 23 games.

The fans are hoping that Peterborough United will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the match against Plymouth Argyle (placed 5th). Before that game this team had gone six consecutive league fixtures without losing. Peterborough's goalkeeper Bergström was extremely busy against Plymouth Argyle, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Peterborough United have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 11 matches with the results: Won 4, drawn 2 and lost 5.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the League One game versus Lincoln City in only four days. This game is also played here at Weston Homes Stadium.

Peterborough United has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 0 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.

Sheffield Wednesday form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the League One, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 8 wins, 8 draws and 7 defeats from 23 matches.

The Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper David Stockdale is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 206 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

The supporters enjoyed Sheffield's previous fixture versus Charlton Athletic (placed 14th), a 1-0 win played at home. Bakinson came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Charlton Athletic last time out, making the manager Moore feel like a tactical genius. Windass, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.74. Windass hit three key passes.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Sheffield Wednesday playing away and similar expectations, we found 12 relevant matches. Results were 3 Sheffield Wednesday wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Sheffield Wednesday now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League One game at Bolton Wanderers is waiting in only four days.

Sheffield Wednesday have the goal stats of 1-0 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Previous six meetings between these squads: Peterborough United won three, Sheffield Wednesday triumphed in two and we saw one draw. four games with more than 2,5 goals, two matches with under 2,5 goals.
