Preview: Bulls vs Peterboro

The Bulls entertain Peterboro in the final part of the 'Week of Death' looking for three points to hit their points target.

Graham Turner wanted seven points from the trio of games against the rest of the top four, with five being 'acceptable'. The Bulls go into Saturday's game looking for at least a repeat of their last encounter with The Posh - a 1-1 draw at London Road in October, with Clint Easton cancelling out a Craig Mackail-Smith strike. The last three matches between the sides at Edgar Street have been drawn, with the last two goal-less.

The Bulls have, unusually, named an unchanged side for the last two games but may make changes for their third game in a week. Trevor Benjamin is unlikely to feature after suggestions during his commentary assistance at MK Dons that he was not ready for a return, while Sammy Igoe is hoped to be available after missing the last two games.

The Posh should have won this League at a canter had money been the only decider, but a faltering start left them mid-table when the Bulls visited in October. A storming recent run of 17 unbeaten matches was ended last Saturday with a loss to Stockport. They scored 37 goals in that run, while the Bulls have managed only ten goals from eleven games, and kept ten clean sheets. They are also unbeaten away from home in 2008, winning eight of their ten games on the road.

Hereford United vs Peterborough United, Edgar Street, Saturday 19th April, 3.00pm.
