Only a win will satisfy the Exeter City supporters in this St. James' Park clash with Scunthorpe United, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the League Two table.
It's no vacation for neither Exeter City nor Scunthorpe United 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.
Exeter City form and stats
Exeter City have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the League Two. A decent catch, still with room for improvement. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Exeter City after consecutive victories at their own ground.
Exeter City's last game was hosting Crawley Town (placed 11th) and winning 2-1. A 0-0 draw away before that, with Walsall the opponent.
Lewis Ward loved the game against Crawley Town. With a stunning six saves the goalkeeper played a huge part in the 2-1 victory. The victory against Crawley Town came after Ryan Bowman's winning goal. The Exeter manager M. Taylor was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 64th minute.
The manager M. Taylor will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Leyton Orient in only three days.
The Exeter City fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. Exeter City's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 3 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Scunthorpe United form and stats
It's not happening yet for Scunthorpe United on their League Two travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? It's looking increasingly bleak for Scunthorpe who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Carlisle United was the last time a defeat was avoided. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Scunthorpe are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Scunthorpe aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 261 league minutes without a goal. A. Jarvis was the last player to find the net.
There might be some fixture complaints from Scunthorpe as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the League Two match against Cheltenham Town (0-1). The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-5 defeat against Cambridge United.
A quick return to home after this game, as Scunthorpe are hosting Salford City in the League Two only three days away.
Scunthorpe United are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 0 goals from 3 away games. 4 goals have been conceded by Scunthorpe in these games.
