League One relegation permutations: Exeter City and Leyton Orient bid to survive

Three relegation spots have been confirmed and only one remains as we approach the final day of the League One season.

At one stage it appeared multiple teams could be fighting to preserve their League One status during the concluding round of fixtures, but after positive results for AFC Wimbledon, Peterborough United and Burton Albion, we're left with two teams desperately battling to stay above the parapet.

Leyton Orient hold a two-point advantage over Exeter City in the table, but if there's one thing we've learnt about this League One season, it's to expect the unexpected.

League One relegation permutations

What do Leyton Orient need to avoid relegation?

It's been a challenging campaign for Leyton Orient having reached the League One play-off final last term, but their fate remains in their own hands heading into the final day.

Victory over Burton Albion at Brisbane Road will guarantee their survival. Even if Richie Wellens' men draw or taste defeat in their concluding match, they will survive providing Exeter fail to beat Bradford.

What do Exeter City need to avoid relegation?

It's win or bust for Exeter, whose four game unbeaten run hasn't been enough to haul them out of the relegation zone.

If the Grecians defeat Bradford, who need a point themselves to secure a play-off berth, they will need Burton to secure at least a draw against Leyton Orient to stay up on goal difference.
