We've just touched on the fact both of these sides are in poor shape right now and, as such, we don't see either of them having enough about them to take the maximum points on offer. Peterborough have managed to take just four points from the last 15 available to them whilst Coventry are one point worse off having drawn three and lost two of their last five. To further evidence why a draw is a likely outcome we can look at what happened last time the Posh hosted the Sky Blues; it ended all square in a 2-2 draw. More of the same will likely follow here.
Both sides will score
The form of these two might be substandard but their fans are at least seeing a fair few goals, which is a silver lining to disappointing results. We see that theme continuing here as we tip both sides to find the net. Each of Peterborough's last three matches have seen both sides score whilst Coventry have seen three of their last five matches end with both sides having made the net ripple. The head to head history can come in handy with these bets two and it makes pretty reading; five of the last six meetings between Peterborough and Coventry have seen both teams find the net.

Peterborough vs Coventry: It's predicted lineup time
The current form of these sides might be similar but in terms of the broader season, things couldn't be more different. Coventry are battling to remain in touch with the playoffs whilst Peterborough are scrapping to keep their heads above water. A win in this game would be huge for either side.
Peterborough Predicted Lineup
Peterborough have been struggling for form all season so their recent run won't bother them too much. The key thing though is that they need to start getting points on the board to pull away from the relegation zone because, as things stand, they're going down.
Predicted lineup – Cornell, Tomlinson, Edwards, Knight, Thompson, Grant, Norburn, Burrows, Szmodics, Clarke-Harris, Dembele
Coventry Predicted Lineup
It's never nice to see your team have a dip in form but the saving grace for this Coventry side is that they remain on the coattails of the top six. If they can get back to winning games – and this is a real chance of doing so – the playoffs will very quickly come back into their thinking.
Predicted lineup – Wilson, Hyam, McFadzean, Rose, Kane, Maatsen, Sheaf, Kelly, O'Hare, Godden, Walker
