History of the Peterhead v Cowdenbeath fixture

Cowdenbeath face a trip to Peterhead at Balmoor Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Blue Brazil will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 6 and win only 2 of the 10 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was earlier this season, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4 - 2 thriller, in a Scottish Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Peterhead's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While The Blue Toon have scored 5, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Cowdenbeath's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. A generous 9 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Peterhead lie just outside the playoff positions in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Two, picking up 25 points from their 18 games so far. Cowdenbeath see themselves just below half way in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Two, showing a record of 20 points from their 16 games played so far,
