Peterborough are ready to welcome Walsall to London Road Ground on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 7 of the 17 previous games, with the Posh winning just 6.
The previous match played between the two at London Road Ground was more than three years back, in April 2001, with Peterborough running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a League Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Peterborough United's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Posh have scored 6, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.
Walsall's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Saddlers have hit 5 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Peterborough are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 36 points from their 42 games thus far. Walsall are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 48 points from 42 matches.

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
