Cardiff City will welcome Peterborough to start off their League One campaign for 2025/26. The hosts will target a better season after their relegation from the Championship, while Peterborough held on to their League One spot. We have a prediction for this match below.
Cardiff registered 44 points from 46 league matches in the Championship, finishing five points below safety. The Blue Birds managed just one win in the final 13 league matches, a disappointing run that saw the team finish with Aaron Ramsey as manager.
Their preseason performances were much more encouraging as the team went unbeaten in five. They now have Brian Barry-Murphy as coach and the ex-Manchester City academy coach hopes for a good start.
Peterborough are eyeing revenge against Cardiff. The last time the two teams met was in September 2022, and Cardiff won 4-0.
Peterborough’s plans for revenge here will be diminished by the fact the team has lost a number of key players in the transfer market. For a team that avoided relegation by five points, Posh will seek to bag these early points. However, they lost four times in the last five matches against Cardiff.
Four wins, two draws, and as many defeats in preseason were Darren Ferguson’s way to check out his players’ readiness. Last season they finished winless in seven league games, losing five.

Our Cardiff vs Peterborough Prediction
These two sides have had intense preparations in the preseason, and here they put to the test all they have been up to. Peterborough will be gunning for revenge here but their form in this fixture hasn’t been the best in recent matches.
Cardiff have dominated this fixture, but their latest competitive matches haven't been very inspiring. With the freshness of a new season will come ambition from both sides, though. Our prediction for Cardiff City v Peterborough is for both teams to score.
