Huddersfield vs Peterborough Prediction & Betting Tips (6 September)

Huddersfield Town welcome Peterborough United to the John Smith’s Stadium this Saturday in a League One clash that pits two sides on opposite ends of the table. The Terriers, under Michael Duff’s guidance, have rediscovered their rhythm after a mid-season wobble, climbing back into the playoff mix with consecutive wins over Barnsley and Shrewsbury. Josh Koroma has emerged as a key figure in their resurgence, netting in both victories to bring his season tally to eight. With Ben Wiles also contributing consistently from midfield, Huddersfield’s attacking setup looks sharp, even as they navigate injuries to Danny Ward, Rhys Healey, and Joe Taylor.

Peterborough, meanwhile, are mired in a crisis of form and confidence. Darren Ferguson’s men sit rock bottom, winless in their opening six matches and having scored just twice all season. Their latest outing—a 3-0 defeat at Exeter—highlighted defensive frailties and a lack of cutting edge up front. Emmanuel Fernandez remains suspended, leaving Oscar Wallin and Sam Hughes to anchor a backline that has conceded 11 goals already. Kwame Poku’s continued absence due to injury further limits their attacking options, with Cian Hayes and Hector Kyprianou tasked with sparking life into a misfiring unit.

Despite Peterborough’s recent dominance in head-to-head meetings—including a 1-0 win in February—this fixture feels tilted in Huddersfield’s favor. The Terriers boast a perfect home record this season, scoring six and conceding none across three matches. Their midfield quartet of Kasumu, Hogg, Chirewa, and Wiles has provided both steel and creativity, while the new-look 4-4-2 formation has given them balance. Peterborough, by contrast, have lost all three away games and failed to score more than once in any fixture, making their task on Saturday a daunting one.

Expect Huddersfield to control proceedings early, with Koroma likely to test the visitors’ fragile defense. Peterborough may find a moment of inspiration—perhaps through a set piece or a counter—but the hosts’ superior form and structure should see them through. A 2-1 scoreline feels fitting: Huddersfield to strike twice, Peterborough to respond late, but not enough to derail the Terriers’ momentum. It’s a game that could further cement Duff’s side as promotion contenders while deepening the gloom at London Road.
