History of the Peterborough United v Barnet fixture

Peterborough play host to Barnet at London Road Ground on Saturday afternoon, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having managed to conjure up a win from 4 of the previous 6 games.

The last time the two teams met at Peterborough was back in January 2001, over five years ago, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a (Associate Members) match.
