This is a massive game for Exeter, and one that could turn into a real toxic atmosphere. The home side have not won a game in any competition since the end of January, losing seven of their 13 games since that win - including each of their last five matches.

Three of these recent defeats have seen 3+ goals, and they now face up against a Leyton Orient side who have been pushing in the opposite direction with four straight wins coming into this clash, with three of those triumphs seeing 3+ goals.

The initial league meeting between these sides saw 3+ goals as Leyton Orient ran out 2-1 winners at home. There was a combined xG of 3.37 produced on that occasion, and the meeting prior to that produced eight goals, with Leyton Orient coming away 6-2 winners on their last visit to St James’ Park.

Newport have looked a beaten side at points during this campaign, but have managed to claw themselves out of the relegation zone. They sit one point above Harrogate and two above Barrow, though the bottom placed side crucially have a game in hand on the two sides marginally above them.

Only Tranmere (69) have conceded more goals in League Two this season than Newport (67), with 3+ goals landing in four of their last five matches across all competitions. No side has kept fewer clean sheets than Newport (6) in League Two this term, showing how vulnerable they are at the back.

Shrewsbury also looked in danger for periods of the campaign, but have since pulled away and now have a 10 point buffer to the drop zone. They’ve seen 3+ goals in three of their last five matches across all competitions, but have grown a little more complacent in recent weeks, with just one win from their last five matches in League Two.

Both of these sides currently sit in the playoff spots, with a six point buffer to the chasing pack in the Eerste Divisie. The Dutch second division is such a volatile league so their position in the playoffs is far from secure, and three points here could go a long way in furthering the promotion aims of either side.

De Graafschap have seen 3+ goals in each of their last four matches across all competitions, winning just one of these games. Their away games in the Eerste Divisie this season have been really entertaining, with 50 goals across their 15 games on the road this term (3.33 per game). 

Willem II have seen 3+ goals in three of their last five matches across all competitions, including each of the last two games, with their most recent assignment ending in a 5-0 win over Maastricht on the road. The initial league meeting between these sides finished 1-1, with five of the last seven head-to-head clashes seeing 3+ goals.

There is still an outside chance for both of these sides to enter the playoff conversation between now and the end of the season, but a win is likely needed here to keep those hopes alive, with eight points keeping Eindhoven from the playoff spots, while Emmen are 11 points adrift.

Emmen managed to cover this line on their own when the sides last met, coming away 6-0 winners at home and scoring these goals from just nine shots on target. Four of the last five meetings between these sides have seen 3+ goals.

Eindhoven have seen 3+ goals in each of their last five matches across all competitions, winning two of these games, with all five of these matches finishing 2-1 in either direction. Emmen have seen 3+ goals in three of their last five matches across all competitions, and notably have conceded 31 goals across their 15 away matches in the Eerste Divisie this season (2.06 per game).
