Matchday 5 in League One kicks off with Peterborough taking on Sheffield Wednesday at Weston Homes Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Owls have won their last two league games, and our prediction is that they will avoid defeat in this one.
Peterborough have made a mediocre start to the new season, currently in 17th place in the standings with four points after their first four league games of the campaign (W1 D1 L2).
The Posh played to a goalless draw against Stevenage last time out and have now failed to score in three of their four league games this term, while having already conceded seven times.
The hosts’ four points this season have come in home games (W1 D1), but that victory is the only one they have managed at Weston Homes Stadium since the middle of March.
Meanwhile, after their horrific 2025-26 season, Sheffield Wednesday have made a promising start to this campaign, currently in second place after winning three of their four league matches.
The Owls enter this match following a 2-1 victory over Wycombe on Tuesday night and are now the highest-scoring team in the league (11). Jamal Lowe leads the team with four goals to date.
The hosts have won both their away league games this season with 2-1 scorelines, but they have failed to find the net in their last three games at this venue.

Our Peterborough vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction
Peterborough have stuttered out of the blocks this season, earning just four points from their first four league games, but the more concerning issue for the Posh is that they have failed to score in three of their matches so far.
After the turmoil of last season, Sheffield Wednesday are looking to make a return to make an immediate return to the Championship, and they’ve looked good over the early stages of this campaign, which is why we fancy them in this one. Our Peterborough vs Sheffield Wednesday prediction is Sheffield Wednesday draw no bet.
