Peterborough face a trip to Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park on Saturday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Posh will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 11 and win only 4 of the 19 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in October 2002, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League Division Two match.
