Any Previous? - Peterborough United v Latics

Latics and the Posh have met 20 times down the years, we have certainly had the upper hand in those meetings with 10 wins to Peterborough’s 3.

 

The first meeting between the two clubs came back in 1970 in an FA cup 2nd round tie at Springfield Park, 17,180 spectators turned up to watch non-league Latics beat the Posh 2-1, with goals from Geoff Davis and a Jim Fleming penalty, to set up a 3rd round meeting against Manchester City away at Maine Road.

It was nine years before the two clubs met again, this time a Division 4 clash, Boxing Day 1979, when the Latics travelled to London Road and came back with another 2-1 victory, this time in front of a more modest 3,312 spectators.

The last meeting came at the DW Stadium on the 20^th October this season, Peterborough gaining all three points with a slender 0:1 victory courtesy of a 28^th minute Clarke-Harris goal.

 

Memorable Game – Peterborough 2:3 Latics

2015 and a Tuesday in late October, a long trip down to Peterborough was really worthwhile and paid dividends for the Latics, a dramatic game saw the Latics two up by half time with Yanic Wildschut (11) and Will Grigg (15) on target, but a 2^nd half comeback by the Posh, Oztumer (61), then Coulibaly (81) looked to have earned a point for the home side, only for Max Power to put Latics back in front and claim the points straight from the restart.
