Middlesbrough vs Peterborough Predictions

• Middlesbrough beat Sheffield United 2-0 in their last home game.
• Peterborough have lost all five of their away games in the league.
• Posh have failed to score in three of their away fixtures.

Middlesbrough can make most of home comforts

Two out of form teams meet at the Riverside Stadium in the Championship on Saturday as Middlesbrough entertain Peterborough.

Peterborough would be propping up the table had Derby not been hit by a -12 points deduction, while Boro have three defeats in their last four games after losing 2-0 at Hull prior to the international break.

However, Boro did manage a win over Sheffield United in their last match at the Riverside and home advantage could prove the difference here.

Posh have been woeful travellers with five defeats in as many games, and they have lost each of their last three away fixtures by two or more goals.

Middlesbrough may have lost three of their last four games but there is an argument to suggest that their performances have merited better results, particularly in the recent defeats to Hull and Blackpool.

Given Peterborough’s shocking away form, a home win is the main tip in this Championship match-up and a 2-0 win for Boro has some appeal in the correct score market. The hosts have scored exactly two goals in three of their home matches in the Championship this season and Peterborough have failed to score in two of their four away games.
