Sheffield Wednesday vs Peterborough United Match Analysis & Prediction
18/05/2023 10:00 pm
Sheffield Wednesday will play host to Peterborough United in the second leg of their League One playoff semi-final on Tuesday.
The two teams need a miracle to keep their promotion hopes alive after Peterborough stormed to a 4-0 victory in the opening fixture at London Road on Friday.
The disappointment from the MK Dons side last season was too much to handle in the playoffs, resulting in a semi-finals exit.
With Sheffield Wednesday, it seems likely that they will be on the brink of another year in League One if they cannot find a way to turn their fortunes around in the first leg against Bradford City.
From Peterborough’s perspective, there is a sense that the hard work is done. Darren Ferguson appreciates the level of performance that his players have produced at London Road. Still, he will stress that building momentum could be crucial ahead of a likely final date with Barnsley or Bolton Wanderers.

Moore may feel that switching to a back four is his only option, with either Dominic Iorfa or Michael Ihiekwe dropping out of the Wednesday XI. Instead, Reece James may be risked at left-back, allowing Marvin Johnson to be used further forward.

Despite fitness concerns, Ferguson may make no changes to his starting lineup for Wednesday’s match. He has made just three changes in each of Peterborough’s wins over Barnsley and Notts County, and a view may be taken that players can be rested in the closing stages if Peterborough puts the tie out of sight.
