Watford travel to take on Peterborough United at London Road Ground on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 13 games played, Hornets have recorded 3 wins, and Peterborough have come away with 6 victories.
The last time the two teams met at Peterborough was more than a decade ago, in March 1997, the Posh carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a League Division Two match.
