Peterborough United hosts Manchester City in the FA Cup 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Tuesday, March 1st at Weston Homes Stadium (Peterborough)
As you know, Peterborough United plays in the Championship. The team is currently in the relegation zone. Anyway, Darren Ferguson's men spend a very mediocre season. This is confirmed by the fact that they earned only 21 points in 32 matches. The difference between goals scored and conceded does not inspire much optimism: 23 and 61, respectively. Peterborough played only two matches in the FA Cup. First, the team gained a 2-1 victory over Bristol Rovers (2-1). Then the Posh beat QPR (2-0). But now Peterborough is in a very poor form. In the last four matches of the Championship, the team gained one draw and suffered three defeats. In addition, Ferguson's men did not score a single goal in those four games.

Manchester City reached the semifinals of the FA Cup in the previous two seasons. However, in both cases, the Citizens lost to the teams from London, Arsenal and Chelsea. In general, they won this trophy six times. The last success happened in the 2018/2019 season. At the moment, Josep Guardiola's men are in excellent shape. They are in 1st place in the Premier League standings, and the gap from the 2nd position is three points. Given that Manchester City is fighting for victories in all tournaments, the Spanish coach will most likely resort to a partial rotation of the lineup. Most likely, those performers who do not have constant regular practice in the Premier League will get their chances.
You don't have to be a great football expert to understand that Manchester City is the undisputed favorite in this pair. It is clear that Guardiola will resort to rotation. But I think that even the reservists can easily cope with such a team as Peterborough. Moreover, the hosts are in poor shape. I remind you that they not only did not gain a single victory in the last four games, but they did not even score a single goal. I expect to see a convincing victory from Guardiola's men.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win with -2.0 handicap
