    The first-leg defeat ended an excellent run of form, which had seen the Owls claim four straight victories in League One to seal their play-off spot.

    The superb run of form meant that Darren Moore’s team had finished in third place in the League One table, just two points shy of the automatic play-off spots.

    Wednesday has built their good campaign on strong home form, as they are unbeaten in 19 league matches on home soil, having recorded three straight victories at Hillsborough.

    Their most recent League One games on home soil have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last six matches.

    The Posh will be highly confident of sealing their place in the play-off final after their sensational victory in the first leg. The win means that Darren Ferguson’s team has lost just once in their last five matches, including recording three wins in the run.

    The first-leg victory saw Peterborough keep a third straight clean sheet too.

    Similar to Wednesday, the visitor's recent league games have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their previous six outings.

    United have excelled on the road of late, though, winning five of their previous six away games in League One. They have also been prolific on their travels in recent away matches, scoring at least twice in five of their last six away games in the league.

    What does Forebet predict?

    Forebet predicts that Sheffield Wednesday will record a victory in a low-scoring encounter. Still, Peterborough will book their place in the final, as the margin of victory won’t be enough for Wednesday to turn the first-leg deficit around.
