Match Preview: Leyton Orient (A)

Match preview image for the Leyton Orient away fixture

Exeter City travel to the Gaughan Group Stadium on Tuesday evening to take on Leyton Orient hoping to make it a fourth match without defeat. 

With three clean sheets in a row and seven points in league and cup action following 2-0 wins over Stevenage and Spurs U21 and a goalless draw at Wigan at the weekend, the Grecians are full of confidence ahead of the trip to the capital.

Orient themselves are a team in form having held fancies Wrexham to a 0-0 draw on Saturday, while a win at Stockport and 2-2 with Peterborough suggest they will be no pushovers in midweek.

Gary Caldwell's Thoughts

"All Richie Wellens teams are aggressive and competitive, and they have changed slightly from last season in terms of not dominating the ball as much - they are more direct and aggressive in their press. 

"On Saturday they changed for Wrexham and had their best game in possession, so we have to be prepared for a number of different things and that is what I have been really impressed with this season with the players, how they can adapt to other teams.”
