Peterborough host West Brom at the Weston Homes Stadium (Peterborough) in the 5th round of the 2021/22 Championship season and the match kicks off at 8 pm (UK) on Saturday, August 28. Read our reasons for Peterborough vs West Brom prediction and betting tips.
ENTERTAINERS VS PROMOTION HOPEFULS
Saturday’s late Championship action sees an interesting match-up between Peterborough and West Brom under the Weston Homes Stadium floodlights. These two outfits were split by two divisions last season and that shows from their respective starts, Peterborough have won just one league game so far, despite showing great battling qualities, while under the new Valérien Ismaël regime, the Baggies have now picked up ten points to begin a Championship campaign for the first time since 2009/10, a season which saw them rise into the Premier League. The Posh aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Preston, while the Baggies are on a quest to return to the top-flight.
THE POSH NEED TO ADJUST TO LIFE IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP
A second defeat on the road at Preston left Posh in 17th place ahead of a clash with high-flying West Brom. Peterborough lacked conviction and belief. On a more positive note, Jack Marriott and Sammie Szmodics looked sharp when they came on, but manager Ferguson admitted the Posh have an issue with set-pieces which is a worry as they are so important in the Championship – you can’t switch off for a minute in this competition.
The ‘Posh’ will be looking to make their home a fortress this campaign and they’ve made a good start, picking up all four of their points here so far. However, they have to be able to take their home performances into the away games. Peterborough have never gone unbeaten in their first three home games to begin a second-tier campaign though, and the odds suggest that they’ll not be breaking that record here.
WEST BROM LOOK IMPRESSIVE SO FAR
West Brom made it three wins from four games to maintain their unbeaten start to the Championship season at Blackburn (1-2), whose second-half goal knocked the Baggies off the summit. Nonetheless, the only concern for Valerien Ismael's side was their inability to finish chances in an otherwise relentless display and an injury to Matt Clarke which saw Semi Ajayi introduced in the first half.
The ten points from their opening four matches have been achieved in some style though, with the Baggies excelling by playing Ismael’s high-intensity, high-energy brand of football. It’s a philosophy very unique to the former Bayern Munich man who is adamant – with the right fitness regime – his players can press from the first whistle to the last. On the evidence so far, Ismaël’s men are widely expected to win promotion though, should they avoid any great setbacks.

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
