Peterborough vs Oxford Utd tips and predictions

All over bar the shouting for Peterborough?

There are 26 points separating the two clubs as seventh place Peterborough get set to host 20th place Oxford Utd.

There's no dispute that Peterborough should start as favourites but there's nothing to get carried away with in the price. Without a huge amount of confidence then, they are the pick to win.

The balance of power is certainly with Peterborough in this fixture. The hosts have registered 10 wins in 16 matches while the travelling side has failed to deliver at times. They've lost 9 of their last 11 matches, home or away. They've seemingly lost this one too.

One of the keys to the home win is likely to be how the visitors' defenders organise themselves on the day. Oxford Utd have conceded at least once in all of their last 17 matches. On top of that, some parts of the attacking performances by the visitors have been short of quality; they have averaged just 0.5 goals in their last 11 matches.

They've met several times before. Peterborough have won 4 of the last 5 fixtures between the two teams. Some analysts like to ignore them but the head-to-head stats could be an insight into what lies ahead.

Peterborough are decent favourites and it's possible they just don't give many chances away to Oxford Utd. It might not be a popular opinion but the No BTTS bet seems fair enough.
