Exeter had a slip up last weekend as they were unbeaten out at league leaders Luton but still, the Grecians are shaping up well at a play-off run at the very least. However, they are going into another tough game as they host Wycombe. The Chairboys are going to take some taming and even going down to ten men last weekend against Carlisle didn’t stop them from putting four goals on the board in a dramatic win.

WycombeExeter Form
The Grecians had their positive momentum dented a little bit last weekend as they went to league leaders Luton and suffered a 1-0 loss. Still, that was out on the road and their home form remains superb. They are on a tremendous six-match winning streak at St James’ Park where they have won eleven of their fourteen home games this season (L3). It’s been stunning form from them and they have taken a clean sheet in four of their last six home wins. But both teams to score will have more appeal in this one as it is the powerful Wycombe attack that is showing up. Exeter have averaged 1.6 goals per game at home this season and they have scored in each of their last six home fixtures now. Their defence has been superb on home soil, shipping at under a goal per game on average, but can it keep the Chairboys out?
Wycombe Form
If you ever needed an example of just how powerful Wycombe’s attack is, then just look at last weekend’s 4-3 success over Carlisle. The Chairboys were down to ten men in the game and as the clock rolled onto 90 minutes they were 3-2 down to the Cumbrians. But they just would not quit and struck two injury-time goals to get the win. That moved them onto a five-match winning streak in the division and they have scored at least three goals in each of their last four league games now in a fantastic output. However, they have conceded in each of their last six league games so will likely give up chance to the Grecians in this one and that’s what makes it interesting. Wycombe have conceded at least two goals in three of their last four away games and are without a clean sheet in four on the road. This has every chance of going over 2.5 goals as 47%, yes 47% of Wycombe’s away games this season have gone over the 3.5 goal mark.
Head to Head News
The two have traded two wins each in the last four games at St James Park. Exeter took a 4-2 home win over the Chairboys in last season’s corresponding fixture. There was a 0-0 draw played out between the two earlier this season and both teams have scored in just one of their last five meetings now and it equates to Exeter having failed to score in four of those five fixtures against Wycombe.
