Recent respective form guides

Peterborough United's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Posh have scored 9, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Middlesbrough's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 8 goals for the Boro, and 7 goals against.

Peterborough United find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 20 games have yielded only 13 points.

Middlesbrough are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 35 points from 20 games.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the Posh at home recently, and we can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Boro come away with an easy victory. Away win
