History of the Millwall v Peterborough United fixture

Peterborough travel to take on Millwall at The Den on Monday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Posh will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The last time the two teams met at Millwall was back in March 2001, over five years ago, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Division Two match.
