The Cheltenham Town & Exeter City managers M. Duff and M. Taylor are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the League Two league table.
- Exeter City has the most scored goals (30) in League Two
It's no vacation for neither Cheltenham nor Exeter City as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Cheltenham Town form and stats
4 victories, 2 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Cheltenham Town have to build on here at Jonny-Rocks Stadium in the League Two.
Happy days for Cheltenham Town in their previous game, a League Two match away at Bradford City (placed 21st) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Before that, Cheltenham had a FA Cup home game versus Crewe Alexandra (after extra-time) which ended with a victory 2-1.
The victory against Bradford City came after Chris Clements's winning goal. The Cheltenham manager M. Duff was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 46th minute.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Cheltenham Town have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 14 matches with the results: Won ten, drawn two and lost two.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the EFL Trophy game versus Portsmouth in only three days. This game is also played here at Jonny-Rocks Stadium.
The Cheltenham fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 8 matches. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Cheltenham are not conceding a lot of goals here at Jonny-Rocks Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 7 from 8 matches.
Exeter City form and stats
2-6-0 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Exeter City, who have the most scored goals (30) in League Two, in their League Two matches away. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Salford City game have they lost an away game, meaning Exeter has taken points from eight away matches in a row.
Two travels in a row for Exeter, whose manager M. Taylor could celebrate last time after the League Two win against Grimsby Town. Preceding that game was the away FA Cup victory against Gillingham with the score of 3-2.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Exeter City playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were three Exeter wins, five draws and four defeats.
After this away game Exeter return home for a EFL Trophy game against Northampton Town. That game is only three sleeps after this.
The travelling fans enjoy Exeter City's attacking play in away games, having scored 15 goals in 8 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Exeter City have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
