Peterborough United travel to Ashton Gate to face Bristol City in the Championship (April 9, 3pm).

On paper, this looks to be one of the most winnable games that Posh have remaining given that their opponents sit 19th in the table and have won only one of their last seven matches.

Posh edged closer to League One on Tuesday night but will be hoping to end the season with pride. Sammie Szmodics will be up for this one in particular as he heads to face the club he spent an unhappy year with in the Championship. He scored two when the sides met at the Weston Homes Stadium earlier in the season.

Key Events

  • Posh start the day ten points adrift of safety
  • Bristol City sit 19th
  • Hosts have won only one of their last eight

Excellent from Taylor,, stops Semenyo on the counter after Knight lost the ball upfield. 30 seconds to go.

Ball comes in, of course City win it, but the ball loops onto the roof of the net from Atkinson.

Oh dear, toruble, Posh scramble the ball clear. Great block by Edwards from Martin, who looked sure to score.

Poku then fouls Scott on the left.

Just the added time to go now, Posh have done very well so far.

Good minute of the ball being in the Bristol half, all started by a great Taylor run. Posh try a long throw and a couple of balls into the box but City defend it well.

All City now. Semenyo and Edwards clash again, the defender blocks a goalbound shot.

Clever yellow from Edwards. Semenyo was about to turn him on halfway and with the pace difference, he was not being caught. Edwards grabs him and does not let go.

Getting more edgy now. James blasts over after the latest cross Posh don’t get anywhere near.

Posh defending doggidly but there is no outball now, Poku has ntot got the pace to sprint away, as was just shown when he was caught up not even after halfway on an attempted break.

Corner agains nearly the undoing of Posh. Atkinson gets his head to the ball, blocked by Knight. Then cleared and swung back in, Weimann has the time for a scissor kick, flashes across goal, not far wide. This inability to deal with a cross really is poor.

Home fans starting to get frustrated now. Their side have not been good with their final pass or shot today. Semenyo the latest to blast over, tight angle though.

Posh doing well here, City seeing most of the ball but it is hardly a seige.

Free-kick put in by City, rather harshly given against Fuchs. Headed out to Massengo and Cornell has tp push it over the bar.

City sub 71 mins 1-1

Semenyo on for Wells, surprising to see him not start.

Now Taylor shoots jsut over from long range, struggling to keep up!

Ooh. City should score, Klose heads over unmarked after a corner was squng back into the box, he was on the edge of the six-yard box.
