Recent respective form guides

Peterborough United's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. Posh have conceded a disappointing 8 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Grimsby Town's away form is none too clever either, remaining unbeaten in their last six, winning five and drawing the one. Those games have seen the Mariners pummel 12 goals, and let in 5.

Peterborough lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca Cola League Two, picking up 11 points from their 7 games so far. Grimsby Town are holding the final promotion place in the Coca Cola League Two, and have accumulated 13 points from the 7 games they have played so far.
