TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Peterborough finally got off the mark withtwo away wins at Hull and Barnsley. Ferguson's men outplayed the hosts on both occasions,The strong Hull side were undone by the precision passing game and the strength and pace of Sinclair. Barnsley were attacked from the off and two goals in the first 9 minutes killed the game off. Ferguson experimented with a new formation against Hull playing three centre-halves. He stuck with it at Oakwell, He must now decide wether to keep it for the home games but surely he must stick with a winning formula. Peterborough have a fully fit squad to choose from.
Nottingham Forest have no wins in five as they hit a wall over the last few weeks. Their run of games have not been particularly difficult either so it does not look good for them. They had and excellent start to the season too with an unbeaten run and a strong opening showing. Key men Dexter Blackstock is suspended but striker Simon Cox and Attacking midfielder Adlene Guedioura return from suspension. Big signing Jermaine Jenas made his debut in a cameo on Wednesday but could be in contention to start here, his presence will be a massive boost as when fully fit he should boss teams at this level.

1X2 BETTING PREDICTION

3.68 The Draw (Pinnacle) is the selection here. Both sides are going through a few changes at the moment and this is a very difficult match to call. Peterborough have a squad of essientially lower league players but Ferguson has hit upon a winning formation, and his team to play good football. Forest are a solid side and given their striking options its a surprise they are struggling infront of goal. They seem to lack discipline and are recieving red cards for fun with three star strikers all taking turns suspended. I see this game tapering to a draw and 3.68 is a big price.

ASIAN HANDICAP PREDICTION

Peterborough is the pick here +0.5 at 1.68 (Pinnacle) Nottingham Forest are struggling at the moment and coming up against a confident Peterborough side who will have a go at them they may be in for further misery. Forest have won as many games as Peterborough which may come as a a surprise. Posh are playing good football as they always do and if they keep going at Forest they may get something here.

TOTAL GOALS PREDICTION

Under 2.50 2.21 (Pinnacle) is the bet here. Although it seems crazy opposing Peterborough on the unders they seem to have lower goals per game now than usual. They look a more stronger outfit defensively and they are not scoring as freely as they did. Forest have great attacking options but the forwards are in and out the team and continuity is lacking. Forest are very strong at the back and their average of 2.22 goals per match is the lowest in the division.
