Peterborough United
- Peterborough United have won two and lost three of their last five League One matches.
- Luke Williams has had a challenging task to steady the ship at the London Road club since taking over on 29th October 2025.
- Williams has attempted to impose a much more proactive and urgent style of play upon the squad he inherited, which was clearly evident in their 2-1 away win over Mansfield Town last weekend.
- But their follow-up was a 2-0 defeat at Bradford City, so it is difficult to tell if Williams has instilled any lasting change in identity just yet.
Exeter City FC
- Exeter City FC have won one, drawn three and lost one of their last five League One games.
- Exeter City FC are unlikely to have as much energy as Peterborough United, but they have plenty of organisation and discipline under Gary Caldwell, who has been at the helm of the Grecians since October 2022.
- His teams are built to defend compactly and be patient in their build-up, but the best opportunities will come in transition - which could make the wide areas pivotal to this clash.
- Exeter are unbeaten in their last two matches - 0-0 draws at Mansfield Town and with Northampton Town at home.
Key Players
- Kyrell Lisbie has been a bright spot for Peterborough in recent weeks with four goals in their last ten, while Harry Leonard has the best goalscoring record with ten in 26 games.
- Jayden Wareham, Exeter’s top scorer with ten in 30 appearances, is still their most reliable finisher, but Caldwell’s men are averaging just 0.81 goals per game on their travels in League One, which is not great, while they have conceded 1.12 per match away from St James’ Park.
Betting Insights
- Backing both teams to score at 1.6 looks a better play here as Exeter are strong defensively and capable of keeping it tight at the back for long periods, but Posh have enough attacking quality to break them down at some point.
- The Posh are conceding 1.19 goals per home game in League One, with 19 goals let in at home.
- Peterborough are slight favorites at 2.08 but both the visitors and the draw are 3.4.
Head-to-Head
In the head-to-head meetings in League One, the two clubs have each won one and drawn one of the last three, but Exeter won the last meeting 3-0 at home five months ago.
Prediction
Exeter are unbeaten in their last two matches - 0-0 draws at Mansfield Town and with Northampton Town at home - so this is likely to be a close game too, but Posh are just a little more likely to win it on the day.
