Peterborough United form and stats

Peterborough United's struggle is real here at Weston Homes Stadium with only 18 points collected from 18 Championship games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 4-6-8. With seven home Championship games in a row without a win, the Peterborough United fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Millwall game long ago, can be stopped today.

It's back home for Peterborough, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Queens Park Rangers away with the result 3-1. Marriott and Clarke-Harris (2) found the net in that victory. The gifted forward Clarke-Harris outperformed all the other players in that fixture and received a match rating of 8.21 out of 10. Clarke-Harris scored two goals and hit one key pass.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Swansea City (2-3).

The match schedule is unforgiving for Peterborough United as they have a new game in only three days, a Championship match thankfully also at home. Luton Town are visiting.

Peterborough are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 18 games. On the other hand, Peterborough United have conceded 26 goals. 13 of these goals were let in after the timer had passed 60 minutes (more than 50 %).

Middlesbrough form and stats

The visitors are W5-D6-L8 on the road this term. That's in the Championship.

191 minutes! That's how long the Middlesbrough goalkeeper Joe Lumley and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a FA Cup home loss versus Chelsea with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Defender Dijksteel was the best team player with a rating of 7.7. Dijksteel hit one key pass and won 8 of 11 duels.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Birmingham City at their stadium, the result 2-0.

A new game in only four days for Middlesbrough, the Championship home match versus Fulham. Busy days.

24 goals have been conceded by Middlesbrough in these games.

Head 2 Head

This duo faced each other before this campaign: Middlesbrough - Peterborough 2-0. As for the last nine games between these two teams, there's zero Peterborough United victories, four draws and five Middlesbrough wins.
