Peterborough United hosts Exeter City this Saturday at the Weston Homes Stadium for a critical League One match. The game kicks off at 3 PM, marking the return of Posh to their home ground after three consecutive away matches.

Match Overview: Posh vs Exeter City

This fixture is significant not only for league standings but also serves as a platform for the EFL PUMA Rainbow Ball, emphasizing inclusion and unity in football.

Recent Form

Peterborough United recently secured a 6-1 victory against Wigan Athletic in front of their home fans. They followed this with a 2-1 win at Mansfield Town. However, Posh faces challenges after back-to-back losses to Bradford City and Barnsley, making a home victory against Exeter vital for restoring momentum.

Exeter City, on the other hand, is seeking to improve their performance after failing to win in their last five league games. They managed to earn a draw against Wycombe Wanderers in midweek, but the team is under new management after Gary Caldwell’s departure to Wigan Athletic, leaving caretaker boss Dan Green at the helm.

Team Updates

Key player Kyrell Lisbie is expected to return after a recent hip injury. Manager Luke Williams also anticipates that Sam Hughes, Harley Mills, Ben Woods, and Matt Garbett will be back in mid-March. However, Rio Adebisi, Jacob Mendy, Tom Lees, and Tom O’Connor are still sidelined.

Manager Insights

Luke Williams commented on the match, stating, “Exeter are a tough side to break down. They have a new manager but possess continuity under their caretaker.” His words highlight the competitive nature of League One, where challenges abound.
