The story so far in the Championship for Peterborough United, who have the most conceded goals (20) in Championship, at their home stadium (Weston Homes Stadium) is 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 220 minutes without scoring a league goal. J. Grant was the last player to find the net.

The spoils were shared in Peterborough's previous game, also at home. Visiting AFC Bournemouth (placed 2nd) travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline. The goalie David Cornell was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 7.85 out of ten. Cornell stopped the opponent with three saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Coventry City (0-3).

This is expected to be a close game, with Peterborough United perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Peterborough United as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Peterborough United has won six of these, drawn three and lost three.

The Peterborough fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 5 matches. Peterborough have only conceded 4 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
