Peterborough Sports form and stats

7 victories, 5 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Peterborough Sports have to build on here at Lincoln Road in the Vanarama National League North. When Peterborough Sports hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like AFC Telford United, Farsley Celtic, Blyth Spartans, Kettering Town, Leamington, Boston United and Peterborough Sports), they have won 3 of 5 matches! We have seen two home losses in a row now for Peterborough Sports, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

The Peterborough crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Gloucester City here at Lincoln Road.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Boston United that finished 0-0.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Peterborough Sports's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 5 games, won 4 matches, drawn 0 and lost 1.

Peterborough Sports are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 25 goals in 17 games. Peterborough have conceded 20 in these home matches.

Bradford Park Avenue form and stats

There's been little loot from Bradford Park Avenue's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 17 away games in the Vanarama National League North. Bradford Park Avenue only have 2 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 6 draws. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Bower, the Bradford Park Avenue manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Bradford played 0-0 against Scarborough Athletic in their previous match.

Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Chester.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Bradford Park Avenue playing away, we found 6 games. Results were 1 away win, 0 draws and 5 home wins.

Sports betting statistic: Both sides have scored goal(s) in 10 of this club's latest 13 league matches.

Bradford have another game away from home in just three days, a Vanarama National League North game against AFC Telford United. A demanding calendar for the visiting team!

Bradford Park Avenue's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 32 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Bradford Park Avenue - Peterborough 1-2 was the story when these two participants formerly played each other, some time ago this season.
