Peterhead form and stats

Peterhead have been very modest guests so far, leaving with zero points in all their 4 away matches played so far in the League One. A depressing four defeats in a row for Peterhead in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Falkirk.

Peterhead had fun at their own home (Indodrill Stadium) last time out, beating Dumbarton 5-0. J. Mulligan, R. Conroy, S. Brown and H. Ritchie scored. As you can tell from the results above, Peterhead was very dominant against Dumbarton, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-0 (!) with J. Mulligan, R. Conroy, S. Brown and H. Ritchie providing the goals.

Preceding that game, the 2-3 loss visiting Queen's Park's place.
