Charlton Athletic has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Hayes and the players.

Peterborough United form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Peterborough United so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 3-0-8 (win-draw-lose). With the Peterborough United losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Peterborough are travelling again after losing away to Ipswich Town in their previous match (1-2). Midfielder Poku was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.64. Poku served one assist, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 6 of 7 times.

A loss against Barnsley was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Goal-happy betting people should observe that 9 of this team's 12 most recent league games have ended with three goals or more.

A quick return to home after this game, as Peterborough United are hosting Milton Keynes Dons in the League One only three days away.

Peterborough find the net regularly in their away games. 14 goals from 11 away fixtures in the league. Peterborough United's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 21 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Peterborough United have avoided defeat in the last 8 games (6-2-0) facing Charlton Athletic.
