Difference

+2

Peterborough's form has been more up and down. They've had a couple of decent home wins but also some heavy defeats, including a four-goal beating away at Blackpool, and their recent run shows more losses than wins in the league.

Neither team looks settled right now, which points to an unpredictable game rather than a clear favourite on form alone.

Comparative Team Statistics: Peterborough vs Notts County

Head-to-head

The two sides met twice in 2024, both times at Peterborough, and both finished 4-3 to the home side in a friendly and an FA Cup tie. Beyond that, the history stretches back through League One meetings from the 2013 to 2016 period with a mixed spread of results.

None of that is recent league form, though, and cup ties and friendlies don't tell us much about how either side plays in this competition now.

League One table

Notts County sit 20th with seven points from seven games. Peterborough are a couple of places further back in 23rd on five points from the same number of matches. Both have managed just one win apiece this season.

The gap comes down mostly to goal difference. County have shipped fewer goals than Peterborough have conceded, even though neither side has scored freely.

Players making an impact

O. Cooper has been Notts County's main source of goals, with three in seven appearances, and N. Tsaroulla has chipped in with a couple of assists alongside him. They look like the two to watch if County are going to trouble Peterborough's defence.

On the other side, D. Okagbue has picked up just one yellow card in six games for Peterborough, nothing that points to any discipline concerns heading into this one.

Cooper's involvement looks central to any County threat going forward.

What kind of game to expect

Peterborough have been leaking goals regularly this season, conceding more than most sides in this sample, and that pattern has continued at home as well as away. Notts County haven't been prolific, but they have shown they can find the net against sides who give up chances.

Put the two records together and this has the look of a game where goals are possible, even if neither team is banging them in with real consistency.
