Peterborough play host to Bradford City at London Road Ground on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Posh have a healthy record in the fixture, winning 7 from 11 meetings.

The last time the two teams met at Peterborough was back in September 1995, over five years ago, with Peterborough running out comfortable 3-1 winners in a League Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Peterborough United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Posh have scored 8, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Bradford City's away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. The Bantams's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 7 goals for and 6 against.

Peterborough are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 30 points from their 35 games thus far. Bradford City's 52 points from 36 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.

FootyMad's prediction ...

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