Match preview

Wycombe will be satisfied with their efforts in the opening two months of the season, having won five, drawn two and lost two of their nine league matches.

After losing their opening two league games of the season, Wycombe have gone on to win five and draw two of their next seven matches in the third tier.

In their most recent outing, the Chairboys clinched a narrow 1-0 home win over Crawley Town thanks to Fred Onyedinma's first-half effort.

That result represented Wycombe's third consecutive home league victory, moving them into fifth spot and three points adrift of the top two.

The Chairboys will fancy their chances of adding to their points tally this weekend, having avoided defeat in each of their last seven home league games against Peterborough.

The Posh are currently two points adrift of Wycombe after winning four, drawing three and losing four of their 11 league matches.

Peterborough have won just one of their last five league matches (D2, L2), but they did manage to avoid defeat in last Saturday's home game against Rotherham United.

Darren Ferguson's side fought back from 3-1 down to play out a 3-3 draw thanks to an own goal and an Emmanuel Fernandez equaliser.

After extending their unbeaten home run to five competitive matches, the Posh will now head on their travels with hopes of ending a three-game winless away run.

If they are to claim all three points, Peterborough will have to beat Wycombe in an away game for the first time since November 2003.
