League One returns on Saturday with Peterborough United and Burton Albion meeting at the Weston Homes Stadium, a fixture that arrives with the two clubs going in opposite directions after last weekend. Peterborough won 3-1 away to Leicester City on 10 October. Burton lost 0-1 away to Doncaster Rovers on the same day. Full details, plus the form behind the Peterborough United vs Burton Albion prediction, are below.
Peterborough United have taken 7 points from their last six matches, winning 2, drawing 1 and losing 3, and their most recent outing was that 3-1 win away to Leicester City. It was a sharp change of tone. The two League One games before it brought a 0-1 defeat away to Stockport County on 26 September and a 0-2 home defeat by Doncaster Rovers on 19 September, and in between all of that sat the strangest result on either club's recent record: a 10-9 win at home to Barnsley in the EFL Cup on 15 September.
Nothing about this Peterborough side is tight at the back. They have kept no clean sheets in those six matches and conceded two or more in 3 of them, with 15 scored and 16 conceded across the run. At home they have won 1 of 3.
Burton Albion have 5 points from their last six and have scored just 6 goals in them, failing to score in 2. That is the problem Gary Bowyer has to solve at the Weston Homes Stadium. Their last win came on 26 September, 1-0 away to Plymouth Argyle, and it remains their only clean sheet in the six.
