National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Exeter City or Stevenage that keep their silverware dream alive.

Exeter City form and stats

Exeter City participated in EFL Trophy the last season, where they reached the 2nd round.

The home supporters can't complain about results here as Exeter City have scored 22 goals to get 28 points from 13 games. The overall stats in the League Two are 8-4-1 (wins-draws-losses). On the other hand, in the EFL Trophy, Exeter City has performed like this (both home and away): 4 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses. Exeter City haven’t lost a game in ten attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Bradford City, 80 days ago. Exeter City has recorded two wins in a row here, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.

Happy days for Exeter City in their previous game, a League Two match away at Grimsby Town that ended with a 1-0 victory. Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Cambridge United.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Exeter City as they have a new game in only four days, a League Two match thankfully also at home. Colchester United are visiting.

Exeter City have proved capable of finding the net in their games here with 22 goals in 13 league matches. From these home matches, Exeter City have conceded only 11 goals.

Stevenage form and stats

Stevenage's mission in EFL Trophy last season failed in the group stage.

There's been little loot from Stevenage's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 14 away games in the League Two. Stevenage only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 7 draws. When we have look at the EFL Trophy statistics, we find 3W-1D-1L. This is both home and away.

Two travels in a row for Stevenage, whose manager G. Westley could celebrate last time after the League Two win against Cambridge United. Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Oldham Athletic.

As mentioned above, Stevenage was the only team on the pitch versus Cambridge United in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.

A quick return to home after this game, as Stevenage are hosting Plymouth Argyle in the League Two only four days away.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Stevenage as they have only managed to score 10 times from 14 away games in the league. 15 goals have been conceded by Stevenage in these games.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Exeter City won 5, Stevenage won 1 and 4 draws. 3 games with over 2,5 goals, 7 matches with two goals or less.
