Exeter City form and stats

Exeter City have collected 26 points from their League One home games so far after 7-5-5. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Exeter after consecutive victories at their own ground.

Exeter City lost their last game at Cheltenham Town (placed 17th) after a 1-3 scoreline. The first defeat after collecting points in three league fixtures. The penalty miss from Nombe in the defeat against Cheltenham Town was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen. Mitchell (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.43/10. Mitchell served one assist, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Lincoln City in a game that was won 2-1.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Exeter's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 8 games, won 4 matches, drawn 3 and lost 1.

Trench warfare? In this club's last 18 league matches, 14 have produced two goals or less.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Barnsley are coming to town in three days.

Exeter City has scored 24 league goals at home this season, in 17 matches. Exeter City's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 20 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
