Peterhead form and stats

Last season, Peterhead's League Cup journey ended in the group stage.

5 victories, 4 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Peterhead have to build on here at Balmoor Stadium in the League One.

Peterhead enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Dundee United's place. The match ended 1-0 with S. Boyd scoring. Nobody expected Peterhead to beat Dundee United in the last match, but sometimes David beats Goliath. In the match before that, Peterhead hosted Forfar Athletic and drew the League One game 1-1.

The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Peterhead home games with this odds we find seven games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in five wins, two draws and zero defeats. Looking at the victories, one match were won by at least two goals.

The manager J. McInally will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Airdrieonians in only four days.

The Peterhead fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 14 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only -1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 14 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
