Exeter City slumped to a fifth league defeat on the trot and indeed a sixth loss in seven games overall in League One last Saturday when The Grecians were dealt a 2-0 loss away from home at fellow strugglers Wigan Athletic, leaving the west country hosts sitting just above the relegation zone but only by goal difference.
Previous losses to Barnsley, Lincoln City, Cardiff City and Luton Town have contributed to a nervy end of this season’s campaign for Matt Taylor’s side and the bigger picture now shows Exeter City have failed to win any of their previous 13 league matches.
Seven defeats and six draws suggest this upcoming encounter against Leyton Orient will be no easy task for Exeter although the hosts hold an overall home record of 7-5-7 23/24 which may give The Grecians a chance.
Leyton Orient by contrast picked up their forth win on the trot in League One last weekend as The O’s registered a solid 2-0 home win against Wycombe Wanderers to give the London club a six-point buffer between themselves and the relegation zone.
Previous important victories at the expense of Stevenage, Peterborough United and AFC Wimbledon have contributed to Leyton Orient’s recent revival under manager Richie Wellens but a repeat of last season’s play-off spot is definitely out of the question.
Ordinary results away from home have been the major catalyst behind Leyton Orient’s failure to grab a top six finish this season as The O’s possess a poor looking away record of 6-1-12 26/38 so far this term.
The Betting Verdict
Despite their recent losses, Exeter City stand a decent chance of picking up a much-needed win at good odds.
The Pick :
Exeter City 2-1 Leyton Orient
