Peterboro have scored just 1 goal from their last 5 home games whilst the Gills scored in each of their last 6 away. Posh have 15 home goals so far this season whilst the Gills have 13 away.
Peterboro have lost 5 of their last 7 home league ties, the most recent being a 1-0 win over then 2nd bottom placed Yeovil.
Peterboro won 8 of their first 13 League 1 games but then only won 3 and lost 9 of the following 15. In the 2013/14 season they won 10 from their opening 12 league games before only managing 4 wins and 9 losses from the next 15.
The Gills sit on 35 points, the same total as last season after the same number of games, however last season saw 4 defeats out of the next 5 matches starting tonight.
Peterboro edge the wins over the Gills by 13-11, there have been 17 draws. Gills lost this tie 2-0 last season whilst the previous match saw a Gills win back in 1996 (Onoura in a 1-0 win).
Top scorer Marcus Maddison has 8 goals this season. In the last 2 seasons Britt Assombalonga scored 33 goals from 58 appearances after Dwight Gayle scored 13 in 29.
The last 6 match current form table has the Gills in 7th and Posh in 14th whilst the last 10 sees the Gills in 9th and Posh in 18th.
A Gills win would put them level on points with Peterboro having been 13 points and 16 places behind them after 13 league games.
