Fulham vs Peterborough United prediction, preview, team news and more | EFL Championship 2021-22
The English Championship continues this week and will see Fulham host Peterborough United at Craven Cottage on Wednesday night.
Fulham are well ahead in the race for promotion but saw their ambitions take a hit last time out as they were beaten 2-1 by Huddersfield Town. Despite a positive start to the game, the Cottagers found themselves two goals down going into the break. A late consolation goal from Bobby Reid was not enough to kickstart a comeback for the hosts.
The Cottagers remain top of the league table with 64 points from 31 games. They will now be looking to bounce back from their latest result when they play at home this week.
Peterborough United's poor run continued last time out as they were beaten 1-0 by Derby County. They took a defensive approach against the Rams and did not manage a shot on target all game. They looked set to come away with a point before their opponents scored a late goal.
The newly-promoted outfit sit 23rd in the league table with just 21 points from 31 games. They will be looking to begin picking up points soon to avoid an immediate return to the bottom tier.
