Exeter City form and stats
6-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the League Two numbers at home for Exeter City, who have the most scored goals (40) in League Two, so far this season.
The Exeter fans got no joy from their last match, a FA Cup game also here at St. James' Park: A 0-2 defeat against Sheffield Wednesday. In the match before that, Exeter hosted Forest Green Rovers and drew the League Two game 1-1.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match.

The Exeter manager M. Taylor has got the team scoring with 22 from 10 home games in the league. Exeter have conceded 10 in these home matches.
Bolton Wanderers form and stats
Playing away, Bolton Wanderers have won 4 games, drawn 3 and suffered 3 defeats in the League Two this season.
The manager I. Evatt was unhappy after their last game, a League Two match played at their home ground Macron Stadium. Wanderers suffered a 0-1 loss to Crawley Town (placed 6th). Before that, Wanderers travelled to Carlisle United and returned home with a draw after the game finished 3-3.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Wanderers when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing one time, drawing two and winning one game.
A quick return to home after this game, as Wanderers are hosting Cheltenham Town in the League Two only four days away.
Bolton Wanderers find the net regularly in their away games. 14 goals from 10 away fixtures in the league. Wanderers struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 17 goals conceded from these games.
