Rotherham United vs Peterborough United: match statistics
Peterborough United has displayed significantly superior form in their last five fixtures, averaging 2.6 points per game and boasting a run of four wins and one draw.

The hosts languish in 22nd place, indicating deep-rooted issues, while the visitors sit 14th, demonstrating stability and improved results. Although Peterborough possesses a modest away record (40% win rate), their current form and momentum vastly outmatch Rotherham's capabilities.
