Recent respective form guides

Peterborough United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 7 to 6.

Peterborough are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 41 points from 39 matches. Swindon Town are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 65 points from 39 games.
