Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Exeter City in 9th and Leyton Orient in 13th place.
- Exeter City have the most scored goals (51) in League Two
- Exeter City have scored at least twice as many goals at home as Leyton Orient have scored away.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Exeter and Leyton Orient.
Exeter City form and stats
Overall League Two stats at home this season for Exeter City, who have the most scored goals (51) in League Two, are 8-3-4 (wins-draw-losses).
B. Seymour was the last player to score a league goal for Exeter and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Exeter City haven't scored in 206 minutes.
The spoils were shared in Exeter's previous game, also at home. Visiting Walsall (placed 15th) travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline. Heartbreak before that as Exeter lost 0-2 at Crawley Town's place.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Exeter have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 18 games) they have won eleven times, drawn five and lost two.
There will be little rest for Exeter after this match as they are travelling to Scunthorpe United for a League Two game in only three days.
Exeter have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at St James Park with 29 goals in 15 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 16 goals have been conceded.
Leyton Orient form and stats
5 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses. That’s the product of Leyton Orient playing as the away team in the League Two this season.
It's the second away game in a row for Leyton Orient, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Grimsby Town (placed 24th) in the League Two last time out. The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-3 defeat against Tranmere Rovers.
Daniel Happe came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Grimsby Town last time out, making the manager R. Embleton feel like a tactical genius.
Leyton are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, four draws and seven defeats. From a total of 13 matches.
A new game in only three days for Leyton, the League Two home match versus Stevenage. Busy days.
The attacking power of Leyton when travelling is not overwhelming with 14 goals scored from 15 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Leyton have seen the ball go into their own net 18 times on the road. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
