The last one for League two

Peterborough V Macclesfield

Two teams heading in very different directions here. Peterborough have an excellent home record in which they have only been defeated twice. The highlight being that massive 7 – 0 win over Brentford in November. Sitting in 5th place they will be keen to take another 3 points here and keep the promotion push going strong. They have not had any trouble scoring goals and have hit the net in every single home game this season.
Macclesfield on the other hand will be happy to stay in the League come season’s end. They are just 2 points above the drop zone and are in a poor run of form only taking 3 points (3 draws) from their last 9 games. Their defence has been leaking goals at an alarming rate and they have the worst defensive record in the league.

Verdict
The 2nd highest goal scorers at home to the team with the worst defensive record. Nothing in this league is guaranteed but everything points to a comfortable home win and I think Peterborough will deliver. Taking them –1 on the Asian handicap and at worst a money back result.



PICK

Peterborough –1 (1.82 @ mansion) 6 points
