Swansea finished 12th in the Premier League last season with 47 points and 42-52 aggregate goal difference. The team have already played two matches this season, beating Burnley, 1-0 and losing to Hull City, 0-2. The Swans start their path in the competition from this stage. We can expect to see some of the bench players in the lineup of the visiting side as majority of the teams consider the tournament as an opportunity to give match practice to reserves.
Of course, Swansea have advantage in the head-to-heads with Peterborough, losing only one of their last 11 head-to-heads with the hosting side. Even through the Swans won’t use all their key players, we should expect them prevail in the match as reserve footballers would use this match as an opportunity to gain the place in the lineup for big matches.
Prediction for the match: Swansea to win.
