Bitesize Prediction: Peterborough United vs Birmingham City – 08/04/25

Competition: League One

Market: Goal to be scored in both halves

Odds: 7/10 @ Pribet

Knowing that they can officially book an immediate Championship return on Tuesday night, Birmingham will travel to London Road when they meet Peterborough.

Starting with the hosts, while Peterborough might have opened up the 2024/25 campaign with their sights set on securing another play-off spots, Darren Ferguson’s men have drastically failed to find any kind of stability. Still firmly sat in the bottom-half of the League One table, the Posh will be bracing themselves for a heavyweight challenge here. Making an immediate return to losing ways over the weekend as they slumped to a woeful 4-0 drumming at the hands of Northampton, the former Doncaster boss will have a major headache over his side’s glaring defensive struggles. Signing off March with a 3-1 loss away at Reading, Peterborough have shipped 10 goals in just their previous three League One appearances. Likewise, notching just a single clean sheet at London Road since the end of January, Ferguson’s camp will also be concerned by their most recent meeting against Tuesday’s hosts. Falling to an action-packed 3-2 defeat when they travelled to St. Andrews for their reverse League One battle on September 28th, the Posh are pencilled in as a real underdog here.

As for the visitors, knowing that they can officially book their immediate Championship return in midweek, Birmingham are enjoying a remarkable fairytale. Opening Wednesday’s trip to London Road holding an 11-point buffer at the top of the table, Chris Davies’ men are riding a major wave of momentum. Putting in another dominant display over the weekend as they clinched a 6-2 romp against Barnsley, the Blues have won their last three League One showdowns by an aggregate score of 12-4. Signing off March with a 4-1 victory against Shrewsbury, Birmingham have also registered 16 points from their last six appearances. Suffering just a single defeat across any competition since their FA Cup exit at the hands of Premier League giants Newcastle on February 8th, Tuesday’s guests have gained a fearsome reputation for their clinical performances in the final third. In fact, notching 71 League One goals in their 39 appearances this season, Birmingham hold the best attacking tally among England’s third-tier.
