Home: Exeter City
- Exeter City have lost their last five consecutive League One games.
- Exeter have won seven, drawn five and lost seven of their 19 League One home games in 2025-26, scoring 23 goals.
- Their recent results include a 0-4 home defeat to Cardiff City, a 3-2 loss at Luton Town and a 2-0 defeat at Wigan Athletic.
- Exeter, on the other hand, like to press their opponents and play a structured, high-tempo build-up when they have the ball.
Away: Leyton Orient
- Leyton Orient have won four of their last five League One matches.
- Nevertheless, their record of four wins from the last five and two wins from their last three away games makes them a huge threat to Exeter City on Saturday, especially as the Grecians have lost each of their last two home games against the O’s.
- Leyton Orient have won six games on their travels, but they have suffered 12 defeats from 19 away fixtures and conceded an average of 2.00 goals per away match.
- The O’s have been in superb form of late, recording a 2-1 win over Peterborough United, a 4-2 win at AFC Wimbledon and a 2-0 victory against Wycombe Wanderers in their previous three.
- Richie Wellens has been in charge at Brisbane Road since March 2022 and has instilled a disciplined, balanced tactical approach.
- Set pieces are also a strong suit of Leyton Orient, who could be a good pick for an away win this Saturday.
Head-to-Head
Leyton Orient have won three of the last five meetings between these two sides, with Exeter winning one.
