Posh need to avoid defeat to secure their place in the knockout rounds. Goal difference would see them through even if Wycombe went on to win a penalty shootout after a draw, so long as Tottenham Under 21s do not win by five goals.

Posh made wholesale changes for the first game of the group against Stevenage but picked a first-choice XI to face Spurs.
