History of the Brighton & Hove Albion v Peterborough United fixture

Peterborough travel to take on Brighton & Hove Albion at Withdean Stadium on Tuesday 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 10 and win only 3 of the 17 games.

The last time the two teams met at Brighton & HA was just over four years ago, in April 2004, the Seagulls carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a League Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Brighton & Hove Albion's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Seagulls have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Peterborough's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Posh have hit 10 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Brighton & HA are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 28 points from 27 matches. Peterborough are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 50 points from 28 games.
