3 huge EFL games to keep an eye on over the coming days

Peterborough United vs Southend United

With just four matches in League One this midweek, this evening represents an excellent chance for either Peterborough or Southend to throw themselves right into the play-off picture.

Phil Brown’s Shrimpers are currently in sixth and three points ahead of tonight’s opponents, and given that they have lost just twice in the league since October, they’ll be supremely confident of going to London Road and clinching all three points.

And when you consider Posh’s recent form, it’s difficult to see past a Southend win tonight.

Grant McCann’s men have lost five of their last eight League One matches, although did win their last home game against Shrewsbury Town last week.

Nonetheless, Peterborough are right in play-off contention, sitting ninth and just three points behind Southend in sixth, so the hosts cannot afford to drop points to Brown’s side this evening.

Thus, it is all set up to be a fascinating evening at London Road.
