Championship leaders Bournemouth take their unbeaten record on the road this week when they face Peterborough at Weston Homes Stadium. Clear of their nearest rivals by two points, Bournemouth have won six of their nine games thus far. Peterborough are much further down the table, in 21st place. They have lost six of their games already yet remain two points above the relegation zone. Darren Ferguson's strugglers are best at home, where they are unbeaten in three of their four matches prior to this fixture. Their most recent home outing was a thumping 3-0 victory over Birmingham City. Only seven Championship sides have scored more goals at home than Peterborough. Bournemouth have won three of their four away games, though, and are unlikely to feel intimidated by The Posh.

Dominic Solanke struggled for Bournemouth in the Premier League, but he is shining for The Cherries in the second tier. With six goals to his name already, he's clearly the game's biggest goal threat. And we should expect goals after each of the last two meetings produced six goals. Bournemouth have kept clean sheets in their previous three away games, yet Peterborough look capable of ending that solid streak. Bournemouth are unbeaten in three games against Peterborough, and you would get long odds on a home win. Instead, back both teams to score, an outcome that occurred in two of Peterborough's last four home fixtures.
