Both sides are heading into the match on the back of defeats at the weekend, with the hosts losing 0-1 to Bristol Rovers, while the Posh were beaten 3-2 by Wigan Athletic last time out.

Exeter have recorded nine wins, six draws and 15 defeats from 30 league outings this term and their latest success came at Barnsley towards the end of last month thanks to first-half efforts from Jack Aitchison and Reece Cole. However, on Saturday, the Grecians lost out to Bristol Rovers at home courtesy of Bradon Aguillera’s lone goal early in the second-half. Gary Caldwell’s side have now picked up seven points from their last three third tier games. Meanwhile, Exeter’s home-form this season has been disappointing, collecting just 17 points from as many matches at St James Park, and Caldwell’s men will be welcoming a Peterborough side with the fifth-best away record in the division.
Peterborough saw their five game unbeaten run in all competitions come to an end of Saturday when they were beaten by Wigan in a five-goal thriller at ABAX Stadium. The Posh went down 3-0 in front of their own supporters, before netting twice in the injury time thanks to one effort each from Josh Knight and Ricky-Jade Jones. It was their fifth league defeat of the season. Nevertheless, Darren Ferguson’s men have won 16 League One games this term and their latest league success came versus Shrewsbury on January 20 courtesy of second-half efforts from Joel Randall and Josh Knight.
Exeter City probable starting lineup: Sinisalo, Sweeney, Diabate, Jules, Niskanen, Cole, Carroll, Harper, Aitchison, Cox, Rankine
Peterborough United probable starting lineup: Bilokapic, Katongo, Knight, Edwards, Burrows, Collins, Kyprianou, Olakigbe, Randall, Mason-Clark, Jones
