History of the Peterborough United v Leicester City fixture

Leicester City face a trip to Peterborough United at London Road Ground on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Foxes will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them with only a 20.00% success rate in the fixture.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in March 2009, with Peterborough running out comfortable 2 - 0 winners in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides

Peterborough United's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. The Posh's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

Leicester City's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. Foxes have conceded 8 goals in these games, and only hit 3 in reply.

Peterborough find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 42 games have yielded only 31 points. Leicester City's total of 64 points from their 42 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola Championship.
