How This One Could Go

Plymouth's position in the table points to them being the stronger side over the season as a whole, and their goal difference backs that up. But Peterborough have shown in this exact fixture before that they can travel well, and the head-to-head record doesn't lean heavily either way.

This form picture was taken a month out from kickoff, so both sides could easily look a bit different by matchday. There's enough here to call it an open contest rather than a one-sided one.
