Peterborough United vs Bournemouth prediction, preview, team news and more | EFL Championship 2021-22
The EFL Championship returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Peterborough United welcome Bournemouth to the ABAX Stadium on Wednesday.
The hosts head into the game fresh off the back of a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Coventry City, while the visitors picked up a 2-1 victory over Luton Town.
Peterborough United ended their dire losing streak two Saturdays ago when they claimed a 3-0 win over 10-man Birmingham City.
However, they were sent crashing down to earth last time out as they fell to a 3-0 defeat away to Coventry City.
Darren Ferguson’s men have now picked up three points from the last 18 available and this underwhelming run of results sees them occupy 21st position in the Championship table.
Meanwhile, Bournemouth continued their superb start to the season last time out as they claimed a 2-1 win over Luton Town.
It was a fourth consecutive victory for Scott Parker's men, who are currently seated at the top of the standings.
Bournemouth remain one of just two teams yet to suffer defeat this season and will be looking to keep the juggernaut rolling.
