Exeter City form and stats

3 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of Exeter City playing as the away team in the League One this season.

It's the second away game in a row for Exeter City, but there's smiles all around after the 4-3 victory versus Bristol Rovers (placed 12th) last time out. That victory felt nice as this club had gone five league games without victory. As you can tell from the result, the match against Bristol Rovers was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today? The end of the last match, against Bristol Rovers, was very satisfying as Nombe scored the winning goal deep into overtime. Attacker Nombe got a player rating of 8.45 in the game. "Man of the match" Nombe scored two goals and hit the woodwork once.

Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Portsmouth.

Exeter are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 0 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of 7 matches.

Exeter City has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 19 goals from 12 games. Exeter's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 20 goals from these trips.
