A win for the hosts is anticipated from this match if the league standings is anything to judge by. The Exeter City fans are hopeful that the gap between 3rd and Cheltenham Town's 24th place in the table will show on the arena.
- Exeter City have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.
- Cheltenham Town have the fewest scored goals (0) in League One
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Exeter City form and stats
The story so far in the League One for Exeter City at their home stadium (St James Park) is 1 win, 1 draw and 1 defeat.
The Exeter City supporters got no joy from their last match, also played here at St James Park: A 1-2 defeat against Leyton Orient (placed 16th). The first defeat after going undefeated in three league matches. Heartbreak for Exeter in their last match as Leyton Orient's Sotiriou scored the winning goal deep into overtime. Aimson was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.22 out of 10. The defender Aimson won 15 of 17 duels.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Burton Albion and winning 1-0.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 City's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 7 games, won 4 matches, drawn 2 and lost 1.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Reading are coming to town in three days.
Early season league goal statistics from Exeter City's 3 home games: {3 goals}, 3 conceded.
Cheltenham Town form and stats
The League One season is young and Cheltenham Town have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.
May was the last player to score for the away team. Cheltenham Town haven't scored a league goal in the last 542 minutes.
Two away games in a row for Cheltenham, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-4 vs Bristol Rovers in the EFL Trophy.
A 0-2 loss hosting Barnsley before that.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Cheltenham Town playing away, we found 4 games. Results were 1 away win, 0 draws and 3 home wins.
An interesting fact for sports gamblers looking to bet on only one (or no) team scoring in this game: This club have played 6 consecutive league games with just one or no team finding the net.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The League One trip to Peterborough United.
It's not easy to score on Cheltenham Town as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - three - four (Exeter City wins - draws - Cheltenham Town wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.
