Exeter City
| Betwright Stadium | England League One | 15:00 GMT
Leyton Orient host Exeter City in a clash between two sides towards the bottom end of the table, despite showing recent form that is not out of place with those at the top. There is quite literally nothing to split the two sides, both sitting on 17 points with the exact same league record but a win here would see either of the two climbing as high as 14th in the table.
Key Betting Tip: Both teams to score at 1.75 odds represents excellent value based on the tip provided by our in-house tipsters. Exeter City have scored 9 goals in their past 5 games, with in-form striker Jayden Wareham scoring in each of the past three matches. Meanwhile, Leyton Orient have failed to score in only three league games this season and with strong home form, its likely for this trend to continue in the same way on Saturday.
Leyton Orient Predicted XI (4-1-4-1): Killian Cahill, Tom James, Daniel Happe, Omar Beckles, Michael Craig, Sean Clare, Josh Koroma, Idris El Mizouni, Charlie Wellens, Aaron Connolly, Dominic Ballard
Exeter City Predicted XI (3-4-2-1): Joe Whitworth, Pierce Sweeney, Jack Fitzwater, Ed Turns, Danny Andrew, Reece Cole, Ethan Brierley, Ilmari Niskanen, Jack Aitchison, Jack McMillan, Jayden Wareham
Exeter 2-6 Leyton Orient Leyton Orient 0-1 Exeter Leyton Orient 2-2 Exeter Exeter 1-2 Leyton Orient Exeter 1-0 Leyton Orient
The home side will be looking to bounce back from a heavy away defeat at Wycombe Wanderers last time out. Before that, The O's were on a run of three straight wins in all competitions with no goals conceded throughout that spell. As briefly discussed, Orient are a force to be reckoned with at home, having only tasted defeat at the Betwright stadium twice from nine league fixtures. Fans will be hoping that striker Dominic Ballard can return to his scoring ways, having scored six goals in nine games yet is without a goal in his last four appearances for the club.
Meanwhile Grecians striker Wareham is on fine form and has the chance to extend his scoring run here to distance the gap between the two sides currently seperated by goal difference. Exeter have no fresh injury concerns to worry about since drawing one a piece to Wigan last time out, a result that perhaps flattered the hosts with a fine goalkeeping peformance from 24/25 player of the season Whitworth.
The last meeting between the pair was a thriller, with Orient coming out as deserved winners thanks to a hattrick from attacker Azeem Abdulai. The Scotsman will be hoping to have the same effect on proceedings, as his side formulated a compelling 2.44 expected goals compared to Exeter's 1.08 on that day.
Our advanced algorithm analyses over 200 data points to generate these predictions with a good chance of both teams to score in this matchup. The model factors in current form, head-to-head records, player availability, and tactical matchups.
Football Park’s Best Bet: Both Teams to Score @ 1.75 - Our team of in-house betting tipsters have predicted both teams to score in this fixture. Both sides come into the game on good form and a point to prove with expectations of moving higher up the table and pushing for the play-off spots that are up for grabs.
Jayden Wareham (Exeter City)
It goes without saying that expectations are going to be on Wareham to contunue his fine form in front of goal in this fixture. The 22 year-old is enjoying his best scoring form since joining the club on a permanent deal from Reading in the summer and will need to continue to do so to keep EFL veteran Josh Magennis out of the side.
Josh Koroma (Leyton Orient)
Koroma is an ever-present threat in the Orient side and has created the most big chances for Richie Wellens' side (5) since the start of the season. Despite not having a goal contribution to his name since September, it would not take a lot for Koroma to find his form again and I think this home fixture provides the perfect opportunity to do so. Despite being on the losing side, Koroma scored against the same opposition whilst in Huddersfield Town colours and will be looking to do the same here in red and black.
