Friday, 8pm: Peterborough v Sheffield Wednesday
League One Playoff semi-final, first leg
TV: Sky Sports Football

Sheffield Wednesday finished a whopping 19 points ahead of the hosts here and won all of their last four league games. Peterborough only lost six home games this season though and will fancy their chances. Let’s dig into the stats and find some value bets.

Both Teams to Score

Posh averaged 1.65 goals per home League One game this season while the figure stats at 1.39 for Wednesday with both conceding 1.09 and 0.91 respectively. The hosts have scored five over their last five at home while the visitors have netted 10. With those figures we have to go with Both Teams to Score first of all.

Over 9.5 Corners

The hosts averaged 6.57 corners per home league game this term while the travelling side averaged 5.61. Over their last 10 combined home/away games, we’ve seen 10 or more corners in seven of those games.

Peterborough are surely going to try and go into the second leg with an advantage so we see them attacking here and Wednesday have shown all season that their best form of defence is attack so we should see plenty of chances and corners here.

Sheffield Wednesday Over 1.5 Cards

On the topic of home advantage we reckon the Owls are going to pick up at least two bookings here. Indeed, of their last four away games they’ve picked up at least two cards in three of them and Peterborough’s opponents have picked up at least two cards in five of their last seven matches on home soil.

With the crowd against them it’s not hard to imagine the Owls getting at least two bookings.

Jonson Clarke-Harris to Have 1 or More Shots on Target in the 1st Half

The home side are going to be looking to their leading goalscorer Jonson Clarke-Harris to grab at least one goal here. We’re not going to back him to score however. He averaged 1.28 shots on target per 90 minutes over the league campaign and we reckon the hosts are going to apply some early pressure here so he should land one shot on target in the opening 45 minutes. 

Sheffield Wednesday to Win

Sheffield Wednesday’s odds to win are too good to turn our noses up at. They’ve won five of their last six League One games while Peterborough have won just two of their last five.

As mentioned above they’ve scored five at home of late while Wednesday have scored 10 over their last five and 10 over their last five on the road too and it just comes down to that, the away side have more goals in them and should come out on top.
