Recent respective form guides

Peterborough United's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. Posh have conceded a disappointing 11 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Torquay Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Gulls have hit 6 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Peterborough lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca Cola League Two, picking up 6 points from their 4 games so far. Torquay Utd. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 4 games have yielded only 1 points.
