History of the Leyton Orient v Exeter City fixture

Exeter City travel to take on Leyton Orient at Matchroom Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Grecians will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 22 and win only 7 of the 40 games.

The last time the two teams met at Leyton Orient was back in March 2003, over five years ago, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides

Leyton Orient's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While O's have scored 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Exeter City's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 leaked at the wrong end.

Leyton Orient are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 5 points from 6 matches. Exeter City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 5 points from 6 matches.
