Swindon Town are favourites to beat Peterborough United in the Sky Bet League One match at the County Ground.
Swindon Town -Vs- Peterborough United
Venue: County Ground
Date: Saturday, 11th January, 2014
Kick-off: 15:00pm
Swindon have lost just three of their last nine League matches and have pushed both Leyton Orient and Brentford hard before going down to narrow defeats. They`ve also lost just two League matches at home all season while winning eight out of the 11 League matches so they have a very impressive home record.
Posh have struggled for a couple of months to find their early season form and have only won twice out of their last 11 League matches! Away from home Posh have lost five out of their last six League matches and only a draw at Gillingham, courtesy of a 97th minute equaliser by Britt Assombalonga, saves Posh from a whitewash.
Everything is pointing to another defeat for Posh but Posh are boosted by the news that Tommy Rowe and Danny Kearns are both back fit and fighting for a place in the team after lengthy injuries.
Will their return be the catalyst Posh need to get back on the promotion hunt?
