Insights:
  • Exeter City have not yet lost a game at home.
  • Sutton United have yet to win a game away.

The visiting Sutton United played their last game only four days ago, a League Two match.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Sutton United have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 15-13-15 (win-draw-loss) from 43 matches.

Exeter City form and stats

Exeter City have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the League Two. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Cameron Dawson not having conceded a league goal in 227 minutes.

It's back home for Exeter, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Scunthorpe United away with the result 4-0. Josh Key, Matt Jay (2) and Timothée Dieng found the net in that victory. The attacker Matt Jay won the honour of being "man of the match" for Exeter with a rating of 8.6/10. Jay scored two goals. As mentioned above, Exeter City "killed" Scunthorpe United in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

Before that, Exeter drew at home versus Forest Green Rovers.

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 Exeter have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eleven matches with the results: Won four, drawn four and lost three.

The Exeter fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. As for guarding their own goal, Exeter have only let in 1 goal at home.
