Peterborough United - Stoke City betting tips and odds

While Peterborough United winning is still technically possible, we wouldn’t hold our breath. They are severely outmatched compared to Stoke City, so even a draw result would be quite surprising.

Even with the home-field advantage as a factor, Stoke have a better chance of winning this clash than their opponents. They can’t afford to relax just yet though – the hosts may prove a tough nut to crack after all.

A AFC Bournemouth draw was much more than what Peterborough United would have bargained for before their previous Championship game. As overwhelming underdogs, they weren’t exactly expected to earn anything from their previous league trip. However, a draw after they took a first-half lead is something that will give them plenty of confidence heading into the Saturday clash.

The Potters’s previous away game against Barnsley was one protracted stalemate. Neither side managed to pull ahead throughout the match, resulting in a 1:1 draw. Barnsley are happier with this result, though, because they were slight underdogs at kick-off.

Peterborough United’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 7 goals throughout their latest three Championship matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

The first time they matched with Peterborough United, Stoke ended the match with a lead of more than two goals. They’re playing as the away team this time, but most bookies are pricing their victory at 2.15, which makes them the favourites.

We’re in for an exciting showdown – due to a complete lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams have their full lineups at their disposal. Because they are more likely to win, though, this should work out in the visitors’ advantage.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.80, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
