Peterborough United form and stats

Peterborough United, who have the most scored goals (20) at home in League One, are steadily winning League One games and points here at London Road Stadium. 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat is the summary from 8 games. Two home wins in a row for Peterborough United bring valid hopes of a third.

Peterborough's previous game was a EFL Trophy match also played at home, ending 5-1 versus Portsmouth (placed 3rd). The home side are looking to build on that result. Before that, Peterborough played out a League One draw 1-1 when visiting Lincoln City.

As mentioned above, Peterborough "killed" Portsmouth in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the League One game versus Charlton Athletic in only three days. This game is also played here at London Road Stadium.
