Peterborough United vs Rotherham United Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

Both teams will be desperate to win. For both teams this could be an opportunity to push on and potentially break into the top half of the table despite their current positions. This early in the season it is hard to tell however this could be a chance to push on.

Peterborough United Preview

Peterborough United Predicted Lineup - Jed Steer; Jack Sparkes, Oscar Wallin, Emmanuel Fernandez, Sam Curtis; Donay O’Brien-Brady, Archie Collins; Malik Mothersille, Cian Hayes, Kwame Poku; Ricky-Jade Jones

Peterborough are currently 14th in the table having picked up 14 points from ten games. They are as it stands just one point off the top half and two points off of the top six. A win here could be crucial.

Scoring goals is certainly not an issue for them having scored 16 so far this season. This the third most in the division. However they will be disappointed in the fact they have conceded 18 - the second most. If they can remove the goals conceded Peterborough could be on for a good season. This could be the start of that push.

Rotherham United Preview

Rotherham United Predicted Lineup - Cameron Dawson; Reece James, Jamie McCart, Cameron Humphreys, Joe Rafferty; Joe Powell, Hakeem Odoffin, Christ Tiehi; Sam Nombe, Jonson Clarke-Harris, Malik Wilks

Having picked up 13 points from ten games Rotherham currently sit 17th in the table. Although on the surface this doesn’t look amazing similarly to Peterborough they are only a few points off the top half and even the top six.

Rotherham’s main issue has been their lack of impact in front of goal rather than defensively. They have only conceded eleven goals this season but have only scored nine themselves. Only Cambridge United and Crawley Town have scored less.
