Doncaster Rvs. travel to take on Peterborough United at London Road Ground on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Rovers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 9 and win only 3 of the 15 games.
The last time the two teams met at Peterborough was back in February 1998, over five years ago, with Doncaster Rvs. inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Posh in a League Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides
Peterborough United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Posh have scored 8, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Doncaster Rvs.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. The Rovers's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 7.
Peterborough are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 27 points from their 31 games thus far. Doncaster Rvs.'s 44 points from 32 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position.
