Exeter City might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Cheltenham Town proved too strong as Exeter slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at St. James' Park. Preceding that game was the away victory against Scunthorpe United with the score of 2-0.

Exeter were so close to getting something from the game against Cheltenham Town, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal one minutes into overtime.
