Exeter and Peterborough Current Form and Standings

Exeter have had a fairly mediocre start to the 2025/26 season. Out of their five opening games, they have won two and lost the other three. In their first home game, they demolished Blackpool 4-1, but since then they have not really shown much excellence - other than their 1-0 win against Wycombe. The Grecian’s three losses came to Doncaster, Mansfield and most recently Northampton. This now puts them 14th in the League Table, on six points. However, this is still plenty of time to grow into the season and perhaps contend for a playoff position.

Peterborough have had a truly shocking start to the season by their standards. Darren Ferguson’s men lost their opening four matches to the League One campaign, against Cardiff, Luton, Wigan and Barnsley. They have only just managed to pick up their first point and open-play goal in a 1-1 draw against Bradford City last Saturday, as they need to start improving their form. The Posh have just one point in the league, occupying rock bottom and in desperate need of a win. However, they have played significantly better in their last two matches and completed a handful of promising signings.

Key Players to Watch: Exeter vs Peterborough

Jack Fitzwater (Exeter) - The centre-back has had a brilliant start to the season, having already picked up a goal and an assist from the back line. The 27-year-old also helped his team earn a clean sheet in their most recent win over Wycombe Wanderers.

Declan Frith (Posh) - The Posh have only scored two goals so far this season, so no player has really shone above the pack. However, winger Declan Frith came back from a knock to be subbed on last game and made an instant impact by assisting the match equaliser. Frith was also the man to win a penalty in Posh’s first game, which led to their first goal of the campaign.
