Recent respective form guides
Peterborough United's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Posh have scored 8, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.
Shrewsbury Tn.'s away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 9 goals for the Shrews, and 7 goals against.
Peterborough's total of 21 points from their 13 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola League Two. Shrewsbury Tn. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola League Two, picking up 20 from their 12 games so far.
