Recent respective form guides

Exeter City's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Grecians have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Accrington S.'s away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. A generous 7 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Exeter City see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League Two, showing a record of 4 points from their 4 games played so far, Accrington S.'s 6 points from 4 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
