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 8, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Grimsby Town's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Mariners have hit 4 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Peterborough's total of 24 points from their 15 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola League Two. Grimsby Town are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 15 points from 15 matches.
