History of the Brighton & Hove Albion v Peterborough United fixture

Peterborough pack their bags to visit Brighton & Hove Albion at Withdean Stadium 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 lose 9 and win only 3 of the 16 games.

The previous match played between the two at Withdean Stadium was within the last three years, in November 2001, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League Division Two match.
