If you’re searching for a Stevenage vs Peterborough prediction packed with real insight, friendly banter, and a dash of stats, you’ve found the right place. As League One’s 29th round approaches, football fans are marking their calendars for January 27, 2026, when Stevenage welcomes Peterborough United to the Lamex Stadium for a 19:45 GMT kickoff. With both sides hungry for points and the table tight, this fixture promises more than just a midweek distraction.
Let’s set the scene: Stevenage, sitting in 8th place with 38 points, are just three points ahead of Peterborough, who find themselves in 12th with 35. Both teams are eyeing a crucial win to climb the League One ladder. The head to head record slightly favors Peterborough, with six wins to Stevenage’s four and four draws in their last 14 meetings. However, Stevenage have enjoyed the upper hand lately, winning the last two encounters 1-0.
On the team news front, Stevenage will be without centre-back Carl Piergianni due to suspension—a big miss for their disciplined backline. However, familiar faces like Dan Butler, Lewis Freestone, and Jordan Roberts (all ex-Peterborough players) could add an extra layer of intrigue. Keep an eye on Harvey White in midfield, whose left foot and work rate have made him a standout.
Peterborough, meanwhile, will welcome back David Okagbue and Matt Garbett from international duty, while Declan Frith is set for more minutes. But injuries to George Nevett, Sam Hughes, Rio Adebisi, and Cian Hayes could test their squad depth.
Fun fact: Stevenage was Britain’s first New Town in 1946, and their Lamex Stadium can squeeze in just over 7,300 fans—expect it to be buzzing for this one.
Now, let’s dig into the Stevenage vs Peterborough prediction with the help of NerdyTips’ AI, which has been crunching the numbers so you don’t have to.
The stats back up a tight affair. Expect Peterborough to see more of the ball (57% possession predicted) and edge the shot count (13 to 10). On-target efforts are forecast at 4 for the visitors and 2 for the hosts, with corners split 5-4 in Peterborough’s favor. Discipline-wise, a couple of yellows each is likely, but nothing too spicy.
Given recent head to head results and Stevenage’s home resilience, this could easily be a low-scoring chess match. But with Peterborough’s slightly better recent form and the AI’s confidence in X2, the smart money is on the away side to avoid defeat. For those who like a flutter, under 3.5 goals looks a safe bet, and a 0:1 final scoreline wouldn’t surprise anyone who’s watched these teams grind it out before.
Whether you’re a stats nerd, a betting tips enthusiast, or just here for a Stevenage vs Peterborough prediction, this one looks set to be a tactical battle with little to separate the sides. If you fancy a punt, Peterborough double chance and under 3.5 goals are our top picks. Whatever happens, expect drama, discipline, and maybe—just maybe—a late winner.
