Sheffield Wednesday vs Peterborough score prediction
Peterborough would be foolish to come into this one thinking their job is done, but in reality, their job is done.
Sheffield Wednesday are probably the better team but the gulf in quality between these two sides is not four goals in either's favour, and it will take something utterly remarkable from the Owls to turn this tie around.
Don't be surprised if the hosts pick up the win on the day, but it almost certainly will not be enough.
Prediction: Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 Peterborough
