Preview: Peterborough United vs. Blackburn Rovers

Peterborough vs. Blackburn

Blackburn Rovers manager Henning Berg will be keen to notch up his first win in charge of the club when they make the trip to Peterborough United in the Championship on Saturday.

The former defender has guided the side just two points from his opening three matches, but victory this weekend could move Rovers up into the playoff places.

In contrast, struggling Peterborough are in desperate need of a positive result following a run of three straight defeats.

The Posh recently transfer listed four of their players for a "breach of club discipline" before captain Gabriel Zakuani was taken off.

Jordan Rhodes is expected to start for Rovers, despite being on international duty for Scotland in midweek.

Recent form:

Peterborough: LWWLLL

Blackburn: DWWLDD

Possible lineups:

Peterborough: Olejnik; Alcock, Brisley, Little, Bostwick; McCann, Newell, Knight-Percival, Tomlin; Boyd, Berahino

Blackburn: Robinson; Mn Olsson, Dann, Henley, G Hanley; Formica, Murphy, Ms Olsson, Etuhu; Rhodes, Vukcevic

Sports Mole says: 0-2
