Before the start of the season in League 1, Peterborough was certainly seen as one of the favorites to qualify for the Championship. With their games and position on the table, they very much justify those expectations. Although they have been recording not so great results lately, they are sovereignly occupying the second position on the table with only 3 points behind the first-placed team. Led by coach Darren Ferguson, they play very open and attacking football. This can best be seen from the statistics when they play at home. Out of 17 games played at their stadium, they recorded as many as 13 victories, with 36 goals scored. Most credited for such data is the league’s top scorer, Clarke-Harris who has scored 22 goals so far.

Accrington are playing a season so far beyond the expectations of many, but they seem to be slowly starting to give up in duels with the teams that are on the table above them. In the last 13 rounds played, they have recorded only 3 wins, the last one was in the previous round against Wigan, a team that is in a struggle for survival. In today's match, they will not be able to count on best scorer of the team, Dion Charles, who is absent due to obligations in the national team, as well as Colby Bishop and Joe Pritchard, who are not in the team due to injuries. It is this mentioned trio that is the reason for some surprising results of Accrington because together they scored as many as 31 goals. Their defense is certainly not at an high level and in their last 10 games they have managed to play only one game without conceding a goal.

After an unexpected defeat in the previous round by the Blackpool team, the host must go for the victory today, and if we take into account that they have no problems with the absence of players, I expect a safe game and a victory against the weakened Accrington.

在赛季开始之前，彼得堡联被认为是最有希望获得冠军的球队之一。他们的比赛和排名非常符合这些期望。虽然他们最近的成绩不是很好，但是他们在积分榜上独占第二，只比第一名落后3分。在教练达伦·弗格森的带领下，他们踢得非常开放和进攻性足球。这一点可以从他们在家打球的数据中得到最好的体现。在他们主场的17场比赛中，他们取得了13场胜利和36粒进球。这些数据中最值得称赞的是联盟的头号射手克拉克-哈里斯，他目前已经打进了22个球。

阿灵顿这个赛季的表现远远超出了许多人的预期，但他们似乎开始慢慢地放弃与那些在他们之上的球队的竞争。在过去的13轮比赛中，他们只取得了3场胜利，上一次是在上一轮对阵维冈竞技的比赛中，那是一支正在为生存而挣扎的球队。在今天的比赛中，他们将不能指望队里最好的得分手迪翁·查尔斯，他因为国家队的任务而缺席，还有比绍普和普里查德，他们因为受伤而缺席。正是这三个人，帮助阿克宁顿取得了积极的成绩，因为他们总共进了31个球。球队的防守水平肯定不高，在过去的10场比赛中，他们只有一场比赛没有失球。

在上一轮被布莱克浦意外击败后，彼得堡联必须在今天取得胜利，如果我们考虑到球员缺阵的问题，我期待一场轻松的比赛，彼得堡联胜利。
