Peterborough will be targeting back-to-back home wins in English League One when they entertain Rotherham United at the Weston Homes Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Darren Ferguson’s side snapped their three-game winless run with a last-gasp 2-1 win over Stevenage last Saturday.
Somewhat ironically, Posh put the Hertfordshire club to the sword for the second time in the space of three days with a 2-0 win in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday night.
Peterborough will now look to keep the feelgood factor flowing by recording another home win when Rotherham come to town.
Having dropped out of the English Championship last season, the Millers have endured a tricky start to life back in England's third tier, where they are currently occupying 17th place.
That being said, Steve Evans' side appear to be getting their act together following a pair of wins over both Cambridge and Reading respectively.
How the bookies view it: Posh to pocket the points
Peterborough are 11/8 favourites with William Hill to pick up the victory that would catapult them into the play-off places.
Rotherham are as big as 39/20 (UniBet) to rack up a third league win on the spin, while a share of the Weston Homes Stadium spoils has been chalked up at 13/5 (Betfred).
Head to head: History favours the hosts
Peterborough have claimed top honours from five of the last eight meetings between the pair. The two teams last crossed paths at this venue back in January 2020, with Peterborough prevailing 2-1 on that occasion.
Players to watch: Clarke-Harris to haunt the hosts?
Former Peterborough stalwart Jonson Clarke-Harris is expected to lead the line for Rotherham on Saturday. The 30-year-old striker struck 87 times across his 190 appearances for the Posh and he is 13/5 (UniBet) to grab a goal on his old stomping ground.
Kwame Poku has notched six times in 10 League One outings for Peterborough this term, making him an appealing prospect to strike on Saturday at 5/2 on Bet 365.
Predicted line-ups
Peterborough will be without injured quartet Hector Kypriano, Jadel Katongo, Rio Adebisi and Ryan De Havilland.
Rotherham boss Evans could stick with the same side that started against Reading last Saturday.
Peterborough: Steer; Dornelly, Nevitt, Fernandez, Curtis; Collins, Young; Poku, O'Brien, Mothersille; Jones
Rotherham: Dawson; Rafferty, Humphreys, McCart, James; Hungbo, McWilliams, Powell, Bramall; Wilks; Clarke-Harris
Anything else catch the eye?
Backing both teams to score is too short to support as a single selection but combining it with both teams to receive a card will bolster the odds to an attractive 10/11 on Bet 365.
BTTS would have been the right wager in seven of Peterborough's 10 League One matches this season, including five of their last six.
The same bet would have also paid out in five of Rotherham's previous seven league assignments, so there is plenty of scope for both teams to land a blow at the Weston Homes Stadium.
With a keenly-contested affair anticipated, round off the 10/11 (Bet 365) Bet Builder by backing both teams to go into the referee’s notebook – something that has occurred in nine of the hosts' 10 league games this term to date.
