Recent respective form guides

Peterborough United's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. Posh have conceded a disappointing 13 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Mansfield Town's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Stags have hit 13 goals, 17 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Peterborough find themselves struggling down in 16th position in the league having picked up 3 points from their 3 matches. Mansfield Town's total of 4 points from their 3 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca Cola League Two.
