Peterborough United will look for their sixth League One home win of the season when Accrington Stanley visits on Tuesday with kickoff at 9:45 pm.
Peterborough United’s home form has been stellar this season, with only Plymouth Argyle and Ipswich Town picking up more points at their grounds than the Posh.
The only defeat at the Weston Home Stadium came at the hands of Fleetwood Town in September, but Peterborough has since picked up seven points from their next three games there.
They have looked quite shaky defensively, having not kept a clean sheet in their past five games, so Ronnie Edwards’s return to form at Oxford on his first start in four games would have been welcomed by manager Grant McCann.
Bolton Wanderers came from 2-0 down to beat John Coleman’s Accrington Stanley 3-2 on Saturday, as Harvey Rodgers’s own goal and strikes from Kieran Lee and Dapo Afolayan gave the visitors a comfortable victory.
Shaun Whalley had given his side an eighth-minute lead before George Johnston’s own goal after halftime put Stanley in a favorable position.
However, they went on to lose their third consecutive league game. It is also the third game in a row where they have conceded three goals, which will be a concern for Coleman as his side sit just four points above the relegation zone.

Peterborough Team News
McCann revealed that nine of his players were suffering from injuries of different severities ahead of the Oxford game, including Joe Ward, who did start but was withdrawn early in the first half with knee and shin problems after a coming together.
Accrington Team News
Seamus Conneely is still suspended for Accrington, so Liam Coyle will probably play in the center of midfield with Joe Pritchard and Ethan Hamilton. Toby Savin has started the last two games in goal ahead of Lukas Jensen and should keep his place here because Mohammed Sangare is still absent.
Prediction and Odds
Peterborough United have been very good at home this season, and they should be comfortable again against Accrington Stanley.
- Home Win
- Goals Under 2.5
- No Score: Away
