For the second time this season, Cardiff City and Peterborough are set to meet. The two League One sides will put aside their third-tier ambitions to battle in the FA Cup. This first-round match will be hosted at Peterborough, and we have a prediction below.
The hosts lost 2-1 in their league meeting and will be targeting revenge here. That will not be helped by their head-to-head form against the Welsh side.
The Posh are winless in the last three meetings with Cardiff City. This run is reflected in League One, where Peterborough are at the bottom of the standings. In six of their last 10 matches in all competitions, the hosts lost.
Cardiff City will come into this game on a high, having secured a slot in the League Cup quarter-finals earlier this week. The League One high-flyers beat Championship side Wrexham 2-1 to sail through a list full of Premier League sides.
With six wins in their last 10 matches across all competitions, the Bluebirds will come here as favorites once again. Playing away from home will not concern them a lot, having lost just once in nine on their travels.
Cardiff’s last loss to Peterborough was in 2013, and they will be looking to go four unbeaten in this fixture.
