Prediction published on 31/12/2021, 23:11  by Daniel Ngulu | Modified on 01/01/2022 at 00:11 in Championship Predictions

Bournemouth have found their footing in the Championship, and in their next game, hosting struggling Peterborough United, they will be eyeing a third straight win. Going to this game, Bournemouth top the standings with 49 points while Peterborough are 22nd with 19 points. The hosts finished 2021 on a high, with wins over Cardiff City and QPR, ending a six-game winless run. Two straight clean sheets were a bonus and they hold on as one of the best defensive sides going into the new year. With second placed Fulham not in action, Bournemouth can open up a seven-point gap with a win here. They’ve however played two more games than Fulham.

Peterborough United are struggling to find their footing in the Championship. They face title contenders, as they look to avoid relegation and things aren’t looking too rosy for them. The visiting team has the worst defence in the league and not that they are the best in attack either. In nine matches, Peterborough have registered one win, and in their last 13 games, they have one clean sheet only to show. Peterborough have failed to score in nine of their last 15 matches. In 22 league matches, they’ve managed to score 20 goals, 21 short of Bournemouth’s tally, though the league leaders have played three games more. At the back, Peterborough are the poorest in the Championship, having let in 44 goals so far.
