Exeter City form and stats

As mentioned below, Exeter City are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 League One games.

A nice win for Exeter City last time playing, versus Wycombe Wanderers. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-1 with Collins, Dieng and Kite scoring for the victors. Dieng, who usually plays near the opponent's goal, was the declared top performer for the team in that fixture, collecting a rating of 7.84 (out of 10). Dieng scored one goal and hit one key pass.

Heartbreak before that as Exeter lost 1-2 at Cambridge United's place.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Exeter City as they are travelling to their away game against Gillingham in the Carabao Cup. That match is three days after this one.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Exeter City at home in the league. 7 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
