History of the Peterborough United v Cheltenham Town fixture

Peterborough are ready to welcome Cheltenham Town to London Road Ground on Friday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The majority of those games have been won by the Posh.

The previous match played between the two at London Road Ground was more than three years back, in February 2006, the Posh carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League Two match.
