In the first round of the EFL Cup, Oxford United will host Peterborough in what promises to be an exciting encounter.

Oxford United, newly promoted to the Championship, began their campaign on a high note by defeating Norwich City 2-0, with goals from Mark Harris and Cameron Brannagan.

This strong start will have boosted their confidence heading into this cup tie.

Peterborough, on the other hand, had a disappointing start to their League One campaign, suffering a 2-0 home defeat against Huddersfield.

The teams have a recent history from last season’s League One encounter, where Oxford won both clashes at Kassam Stadium.

Given Oxford’s positive momentum and their successful history against Peterborough at home, they are likely to carry that confidence into this match.

We can expect an entertaining game, but Oxford’s form and home advantage should see them come out on top.
