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 7 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 2 of their own chances.
Shrewsbury Tn.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Shrews have hit 4 goals, 7 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Peterborough lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca Cola League Two, picking up 14 points from their 9 games so far. Shrewsbury Tn.'s 12 points from 9 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Peterborough at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Posh will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
