City to See Off United on Opening Weekend

After a couple of years flirting with relegation, Cardiff finally succumbed last season. It was a year to forget for the Bluebirds, as they picked up just nine wins and finished bottom of the EFL Championship.

Peterborough had a poor season in League One last time around. Posh were beaten 21 times and finished 18^th on 51 points. Darren Ferguson’s men are hoping for a much better 2025-26 campaign.

Cardiff are right up there with the favourites for promotion. Big things are expected of Barry-Murphy and his talented squad this season, and the club from the Welsh capital are looking to get off to a flying start this weekend.

An away fixture at one of the relegated clubs is a tough way for Peterborough to start the new season. After the game in Cardiff, United welcome Luton Town, the current title favourites, to London Road.

Cardiff struggled on their own patch in the Championship last season, but they are looking to turn the Cardiff City Stadium into a fortress in League One. The hosts are the strong favourites here at 1.55.
