Peterborough prepare to entertain Hartlepool United at London Road Ground on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Posh are clearly on top, having won 13 and lost only 4 of the 23 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at London Road Ground was just last season, in August 2003, with Hartlepool U. inflicting a narrow 3-4 defeat upon the Posh in a League Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Peterborough United need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Posh have scored 4, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.
The away form of Hartlepool U. is pretty dire, losing every single one of the last six matches played! While the Pool have hit 6 goals, 17 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Peterborough are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 13 points from 13 matches. Hartlepool U.'s 20 points from 14 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th 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 Pool come away with an easy victory. Away win
