History of the Plymouth Argyle v Peterborough United fixture

Peterborough face a trip to Plymouth Argyle at Home Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Posh will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in May 2010, with Peterborough inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the Pilgrims in a Championship match.
