Peterborough Sports form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Peterborough Sports so far with only 13 points returning home. The records show 4-1-8 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Peterborough's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Peterborough Sports go into this game after a win, the home game against Brackley Town that ended 2-0.

Earlier, the Northamptonshire Senior Cup victory away at Corby Town.

As for defending, Peterborough Sports rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 20 goals from these away matches.
