Why Peterborough United would definitely escape the relegation zone if they beat Stevenage in their next League One match

Peterborough United will get out of the League One relegation zone with a win at home to Stevenage next Tuesday night (November 25, 7.45pm kick off).

The scheduled Saturday fixture between 20th-placed Exeter City and Burton Albion has been postponed because of fire damage at St James Park and Posh are now just a point behind ‘The Grecians’ who don’t have a game on Tuesday.

League One Fixtures of interest for Posh tomorrow include Northampton Town v Cardiff City, Leyton Orient v Blackpool, Reading v Rotherham, Stevenage v Doncaster, Wimbledon v Wigan and the basement battle between bottom two Port Vale and Plymouth Argyle.

If Doncaster, Wigan and Reading lose, Posh will leapfrog all three by beating Stevenage at the Weston Homes Stadium. If Reading and Doncaster draw their Saturday games Posh would get past both win three points on Tuesday.

Blackpool and Port Vale would climb above Posh, temporarily hopefully, if they win tomorrow. Plymouth would need a huge win to overtake Luke Williams’ side.
