Gillingham VS Peterborough United

Gillingham welcome Peterborough for this EFL Cup Group 12 battle at Priestfield Stadium very early Wednesday morning Beijing time. Gillingham play in the League Two, the fourth level of English football. Peterborough, on the other hand, play in League One, which is the best third tier in the world. The difference between League One and Two is not massive but still exists – especially in terms of tempo and players' average skill level. As the season has only recently begun in England, we'll take a look at last season's results and statistics.. Peterborough played very well last season, finishing in 4th place last (regular) season. They scored a whopping 89 goals which was the highest number in League One! They played pretty offensive football which also led to a higher number of goals than the top-3 teams – 61 – conceded. I believe they will improve defensively this season.. In the League One Playoffs they were unlucky to lose to Oxford United 1-2 on aggregate, despite generating more in expected goals (xG) than Oxford in both legs! Gillingham ended up in 12th place last season with 64 points to their account. However, their number of expected points (xPTS) was only 60.12. Their score difference was weak – 46:57 to be precise.

Let's be clear; Peterborough have a clear edge over Gillingham in all areas of the game! Yes, some squad rotation from both teams' managers would not be a surprise but Peterborough have a pretty deep squad full of strong enough players to do well against a team of Gillingham's caliber.. Let's also remember that according to a well-known and respected German website, Transfermarkt.com, Peterborough are the bigger team here - by a wide margin! Indeed, their players are valued at an estimated around 10 million euros. This is too low though! Some 14-15 million would be a more accurate number. The Gillingham squad, on the other hand, is valued at only about five million. Having said that I want to highlight, the total market values very often reflect the teams' level on the pitch well but can, of course, sometimes be misleading as well.. For example, a still extremely good player, Lionel Messi, 37, who plays for Inter Miami in the MLS in the USA, is valued at "only'' 30 million euros.  Odds of around 1.95 are widely on the Peterborough win on the betting market. Based on my strongly data-based expert analysis, the visitors have a 58% chance of winning!

Peterborough have won two of their last three matches. In their last match they lost to Wrexham at home – despite being the better team as a whole on the pitch. However, their offensive performance was a disappointment. They did, however, record many more attacks (149-87) and dangerous attacks. Wrexham played very well and deserve credit for their effort. Peterborough can improve significantly from this match!  Before this Peterborough grabbed a 2-1 away win over a dangerous opponent, Exeter. They recorded many more shots on goal (8-2) but the hosts did have their chances too and could have taken a win.. In round 2 of League One Peterborough were excellent, crushing Shrewsbury 4-1 on the road! Yes, the final score does flatter the visitors to some extent but Peterborough did record hugely more shots on goal – 11-3! Gillingham beat Chesterfield 1-0 at home in their last game. However, the visitors were disappointed taking into account that the hosts' M. Ehmer was sent off in the 60th minute when the score was 1-0.. Even so, Chesterfield did record many more goal attempts. Before this Gillingham were lame on the road against Fleetwood, despite taking a point. No goals were scored. Lame Gillingham recorded just one shot on goal. The hosts had 18 goal attempts and also recorded many more corner kicks, attacks and dangerous attacks - 55-16. 16 dangerous attacks is a very low number in professional football! In round 2 of League Two Gillingham beat a lowly team, Morecambe, 1-0 away from home but the match was pretty balanced as a whole.. Gillingham were clear favourites on the betting market in this game but recorded just one more shot on goal than Morecambe.

吉林汉姆VS彼得堡联队

吉林汉姆欢迎彼得堡参加北京时间周三凌晨在普里斯特菲尔德球场举行的联赛杯第12组比赛。吉林厄姆在英乙联赛踢球，这是英国足球的第四级联赛。另一方面，彼得伯勒在英甲踢球，这是世界上最好的第三梯队。英甲和英乙之间的差距并不大，但仍然存在——特别是在节奏和球员的平均技术水平方面。由于新赛季在英格兰才刚刚开始，我们来看看上赛季的成绩和数据。彼得伯勒上赛季踢得很好，上赛季(常规赛)排名第四。他们打进了89个进球，这是英甲联赛的最高数字!他们踢得很有攻击性，这也导致了比前三名球队更多的失球——61个。我相信他们本赛季会在防守端有所提高。在英甲季后赛中，他们不幸以总比分1-2不敌牛津联队，尽管两回合的预期进球数(xG)都比牛津联队多!吉林汉姆上赛季以64分排名第12。然而，他们的期望值(xPTS)只有60.12。他们的比分差距很小，准确地说是46:57。

让我们明确一点;彼得堡在比赛的各个方面都明显领先吉林厄姆!是的，两队主教练的轮换并不会让人感到意外，但是彼得伯勒有一个相当有深度的阵容，充满了足够强大的球员，可以在对阵吉林厄姆这样的球队时表现出色。让我们也记住，根据一个著名的和受人尊敬的德国网站，Transfermarkt.com，彼得堡是更大的球队在这里-以很大的差距!事实上，他们的球员的身价估计在1000万欧元左右。这太低了!更准确的数字是1400万到1500万。另一方面，吉林厄姆队的价值仅为500万英镑左右。我想强调的是，总的市场价值通常很好地反映了球队在球场上的水平，但当然，有时也会被误导。例如，37岁的莱昂内尔·梅西(Lionel Messi)仍然非常出色，他效力于美国职业足球大联盟(MLS)的国际迈阿密队(Inter Miami)，他的身价“仅”为3000万欧元。在博彩市场上，彼得伯勒队获胜的赔率普遍在1.95左右。根据我强有力的基于数据的专家分析，客队有58%的获胜机会!

彼得伯勒在最近三场比赛中赢了两场。在上一场比赛中，他们在主场输给了雷克瑟姆，尽管他们在球场上整体表现更好。然而，他们的进攻表现令人失望。然而，他们确实记录了更多的攻击(149-87)和危险的攻击。雷克瑟姆踢得很好，他们的努力值得赞扬。彼得伯勒可以从这场比赛中得到很大的提高!在此之前，彼得伯勒客场2-1战胜了危险的对手埃克塞特。他们的射门次数更多(8-2)，但主队也有机会取得胜利。在英甲联赛的第二轮，彼得伯勒表现出色，在客场4-1大胜什鲁斯伯里!是的，最后的比分在某种程度上确实让客队感到高兴，但彼得伯勒的射门次数要多得多——11比3!吉林汉姆队在最后一场比赛中主场1-0击败了切斯特菲尔德队。但是，主队的埃梅尔在比分为1比0的第60分钟被罚下，客队对此感到失望。即便如此，切斯特菲尔德的进球次数还是更多。在此之前，吉林厄姆在客场对阵弗利特伍德的比赛中表现不佳，尽管拿到了一分。没有进球。格林厄姆只射门一次。东道主有18次进球尝试，并且创造了更多的角球、进攻和危险进攻——55比16。16次危险进攻在职业足球中是很低的数字!英乙第二轮，吉林汉姆在客场1-0击败了一支实力不强的球队莫克姆，但比赛整体上还是很平衡的。在这场比赛中，吉林厄姆在博彩市场上是明显的热门，但只比莫克姆多射门一次。
