History of the Peterborough United v Brighton & Hove Albion fixture

Peterborough play host to Brighton & Hove Albion at London Road Ground on Tuesday evening, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. Of the 16 games played, Posh have recorded 7 wins, and Brighton & HA have come away with 4 victories.

The last time the two teams met at Peterborough was just over four years ago, in November 2003, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a League Division Two match.
