Recent respective form guides

Peterborough United's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Posh have scored 8, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Oldham Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. The Latics's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 10 goals for and 9 against.

Peterborough are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 9 points from 11 matches. Oldham Ath.'s 16 points from 11 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
