Peterborough United form and stats

Peterborough United have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Championship, after 1-1-15 (17 played).

A 0-3 loss hosting Hull City before that.

Peterborough United have another match that requires travelling in just four days, a Championship game against AFC Bournemouth. A hard timetable for the visiting team!

The visitors have scored 9 goals from 17 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Peterborough United's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 45 goals in 17 travels. Peterborough has visited these top teams five times, and 4 of 5 has ended with 2 goals or more!
