Peterborough will be hoping to close the gap to the automatic promotion places when they face Carlisle on Friday.
The home side are currently in fourth, seven points adrift of second, but they have at least one game in hand over Bolton, Derby and Portsmouth in the positions above.
Carlisle, meanwhile, are seemingly doomed to relegation and are rock bottom of the table.
Current Form
Peterborough’s current form
Peterborough were on a cracking run of form of five league victories in a row, but then they faced Portsmouth in the biggest game of their season so far.
Against the lead leaders, they lost 1-0 at home so will be hoping that was just a minor blip in their battle for promotion. Prior to that loss they were free scoring and netted 11 times over three games.
Carlisle’s current form
Carlisle have been on a ghastly run of form with just one victory claimed in their last 14 matches, which came against Burton at the end of February.
In their last game, they claimed a point in a 2-2 draw with Stevenage, but prior to that lost four in a row.
Team News
Will Blackmore, Jeando Fuchs and Jacob Wakeling are all missing for Peterborough due to injury, while Hector Kyprianou is serving the second of a two-game suspension.
Josh Vela is a long-term absentee for Carlisle. They’ll likely field the same XI that claimed a point at Stevenage.
