Six rounds before the end of the championship, Peterborough needs another 12 points to mathematically secure a place in the Championship. After a warning defeat by Blackpool, Darren Ferguson's team took the next matches as seriously as possible, as the results show. Of the possible 12 points from those games, they managed to win as many as 10 with a great goal difference of 12 goals scored and only one goal conceded. They received that goal from the equally quality Sunderland team in the very finish of the match, after a great shot from a free kick. What is especially impressive in their game are the home games. Of the 19 games played at home, they have as many as 14 victories and only 2 defeats, one of which was last month against the leading Hull. Even more impressive is their goal difference at home, they scored as many as 44 goals, which means that on average they score more than two goals when they play at home. Certainly, the great credit for this performance belongs to the leading scorer of the team, Clarke-Harris, who has scored 5 goals in the last 4 games and improved his goal-scoring balance to 27 goals so far. Siriki Dembele, who scored 3 goals in the last two games, can also find his place in the first 11. According to coach Ferguson, the players are maximally ready and motivated for this match and there is no reason not to come out in the strongest lineup against the local rival.

Unlike Peterborough, it is really hard to talk in superlatives about Northampton's games. They are currently in the relegation zone with only 40 points won after 41 games played. One of the main reasons why they are in that position is the extremely poor away game. The last away victory was recorded in November last year, and since then they have played 14 more games. If you look at the state of the table of visiting teams, you can see that Northampton is convincingly last with as many as 12 defeats from 20 away games. Another problem for them is their extreme inefficiency, according to this parameter they are also the worst in the league, they scored only 34 goals. With that way of playing, it is clear that they will hardly be able to harm the great defense of Peterborough. They face an extremely difficult task to survive in the league, and today's opponent will certainly not make their job easier.

Peterborough has a couple of tough games until the end of the season and judging by coach Ferguson, they will go for 3 points in this match because they do not want to depend on the results of other teams. If we take into account all the virtues of the hosts and the importance that this game has for them, I think they are clear favorites in tonight's match and I expect a sure victory with at least one goal by Clarke-Harris.

在锦标赛结束前六轮，彼得伯勒还需要12分才能从数学上保证他在锦标赛中的位置。在被布莱克浦警告失败后，达伦·弗格森的球队在接下来的比赛中尽可能的认真，就像结果显示的那样。在那些比赛可能得到的12分中，他们设法赢得了10分，并且有12个进球的巨大差距，只丢了一个球。在比赛快要结束的时候，他们从同样有实力的桑德兰手中接过了那粒进球，那是他们任意球的精彩射门。在他们的比赛中最令人印象深刻的是主场比赛。在主场的19场比赛中，他们有14场胜利，只有2场失败，其中一场是上个月对阵领先的赫尔。更让人印象深刻的是他们在主场的进球差，他们进了44个球，这意味着他们在主场的平均进球超过2个。当然，这种表现应该归功于球队的最佳射手克拉克-哈里斯，他在过去的4场比赛中打进5球，并将他的进球平衡提高到目前的27球。在前两场比赛中打进3球的Siriki Dembele，也可以在前11场比赛中找到自己的位置。根据主教练弗格森的说法，球员们已经为这场比赛做好了最大限度的准备和动力，没有理由不以最强阵容迎战本地对手。

不像彼得伯勒，我们很难用最高级来谈论北安普顿的比赛。他们在41场比赛后只赢了40分，目前处于降级区。他们处于这个位置的一个主要原因是他们在客场的表现很差。上一次客场胜利是在去年11月，之后他们又打了14场比赛。如果你看看客队的积分榜，你会发现北安普顿在20场客场比赛中有12场败北，这一点令人信服。另一个问题是他们的效率极低，根据这个参数，他们也是联赛中最差的，他们只进了34个球。以这种方式打球，很明显，他们将很难伤害彼得伯勒的伟大防守。要想在联赛中生存下来，他们面临着极其艰巨的任务，而今天的对手肯定不会让他们的工作变得更容易。

彼得伯勒在赛季结束前还有几场艰难的比赛，根据弗格森教练的判断，他们将在这场比赛中得到3分，因为他们不想依赖于其他球队的结果。如果我们考虑东道主的所有优点和这场比赛对他们的重要性，我认为他们在今晚的比赛中是最受欢迎的，我希望克拉克-哈里斯至少能进一个球，以确保胜利。
