History of the Peterborough United v Watford fixture

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.

Recent respective form guides

Peterborough United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. A generous 10 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Watford's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Hornets have conceded 12 goals in these games, and only hit 3 in reply.

Peterborough find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 21 games have yielded only 14 points. Watford's 30 points from 21 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
