We could see the first promotion from League One confirmed in midweek as Peterborough United hosts runaway league leaders Birmingham City in a midweek clash. Will the Posh get back to winning ways, or can the Blues pick up the points from this match that will secure promotion to the Championship? Our prediction for the big game is outlined below!
It’s been a goal-packed season for Peterborough United fans. The Posh have scored 61 goals this season, the fifth most in League One, but conceded 70, the highest in the division. They lie 15th with 48 points from 40 games. Birmingham leads League One with 92 points from just 39 games and requires one win to ensure promotion from the division. No team has scored more than the Blues 71 goals this season in League One.
Coming into this fixture ,Peterborough were beaten 3-1 away to Reading before winning an exciting encounter 4-3 away to Crawley Town. However, at the weekend, they were hammered 4-0 at home by Northampton Town.
Birmingham City’s inexorable roll towards the title has continued with three straight wins. A 4-1 win over Shrewsbury at home was followed by a 2-1 away win at Bristol Rovers and then at the weekend, they thrashed Barnsley 6-2 at home.

Our Peterborough vs Birmingham Prediction
Our prediction for the Peterborough United vs. Birmingham City League One match is: Birmingham City to win and Both Teams to Score.
Birmingham City come into this game knowing a win will guarantee promotion to the Championship. Peterborough's recent form is inconsistent and they also have a poor historic record against Birmingham City too. City have lost just one of their last 25 games in League One and with Peterborough losing two of the last three, a game with goals at both ends, but with a Birmingham win looks the likeliest outcome.
Prediction :
Birmingham City to win and Both Teams to Score
